Request a Drug and Alcohol Test

With increasing awareness about workplace health and safety obligations, more employers are implementing drug tests for their workforces. While staff welfare is a primary concern, it is not only about worker safety – employers are now conscious of potential for litigation, where any preventable incident has the potential to negatively affect a business reputation.

Our accredited drug and alcohol testing service holds the highest possible compliance and certification available today with collections performed at Jobfit centres nationwide by qualified and highly experienced health professionals.

For instant drug screening, Jobfit generally uses a multi drug 6 Panel urine drug testing kit which tests for illicit drugs including:

Cannabis
Opiates
Methamphetamines
Amphetamines
Benzodiazepines
Cocaine

Alcohol testing is conducted using a hand-held alcohol breathalyser.

Instant urine testing can offer results in 5 minutes; however, they do not provide the same standard as a laboratory analysis as defined by the Australian Standards AS/NZS 4308:2008. The specimen will require confirmation testing by a NATA accredited laboratory if a non-negative result is obtained.

The following information is provided as an explanation of the different results and why confirmation testing is a MUST.

NEGATIVE TEST

No drugs and/or alcohol was detected in the provided sample.

NON-NEGATIVE TEST

An instant test when a drug metabolite is detected in an initial test. This does not confirm that drugs are definitely detected. Compliance with the Australian Standard requires that a non-negative drug test must be sent for confirmation testing within a NATA accredited laboratory to confirm the presence of drugs within the specimen.

POSITIVE TEST

A positive drug result can only come from a report provided by a laboratory. Most importantly, please note that a positive test may not mean the use of illicit drugs as medications including painkillers and sleeping tablets can return positive drug test results. As a result, the report will comment that the drug use is consistent with foodstuffs and/or declared medication.

CONFIRMATION TESTING

Non-negative results require a sample to be sent for Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) confirmatory testing in a NATA accredited laboratory. The confirmatory testing can determine drug concentration levels and if the result may be consistent with medications, foodstuffs, or illicit drug use.

ALL NON-NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE TESTS REQUIRE GCMS CONFIRMATION TESTING AT AN ADDITIONAL FEE OF $174.90 (INC GST). MEDICAL RESULTS WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL THE ADDITIONAL FEE IS PAID.
