Supporting Safer, Compliant Workplaces
Our swab and urine drug tests are designed to detect a wide range of substances including THC, amphetamines, methamphetamine, opiates, oxycodone and benzodiazepines. We use equipment and processes that comply with AS/NZS 4308:2023 for urine drug tests and AS/NZS 4760:2019 for oral swab tests, ensuring accuracy and consistency every time. Both methods offer flexible options — swab tests are ideal for quick, on-the-spot screening, whereas urine tests are suitable for both immediate and formal testing needs, and are commonly chosen for pre-employment drug screening, random or scheduled workplace testing, and return-to-work or rehabilitation monitoring. Whereas swab tests only detect recent drug use, urine tests can detect drug use from the last 2 to 7 days, depending on the substance and the individual's metabolism.
We understand that every business has different compliance needs, so our collectors tailor each service to fit your requirements. Whether it’s part of a random testing program, court-ordered testing, or a post-incident procedure, we make the process efficient and confidential. Ready to protect your workplace and staff?

FAQ
What’s the difference between a swab and a urine drug test?
A swab drug test (oral fluid test) collects a saliva sample using a mouth swab to detect recent drug use, typically within the last 24–48 hours. A urine drug test analyses a urine sample and can detect drug use over a longer window — often up to several days or weeks, depending on the substance. Swab tests are often chosen for quick on-site screening, while urine tests are preferred when a broader detection range or laboratory confirmation is required. Both methods comply with Australian Standards for accuracy and reliability.
How long does it take to get results from a drug test?
On-site screening results for swab or urine drug tests are generally available after approximately 10 minutes. However, if a non-negative result occurs, the sample is sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory for confirmatory testing. This process typically takes 24 to 72 hours, depending on the testing type and location. Confirmatory testing provides definitive, legally defensible results suitable for workplace or legal purposes.
Are swab and urine drug tests legally accepted in Australia?
Yes. Both swab and urine drug tests are recognised under Australian Standards — AS/NZS 4760:2019 for oral fluid (swab) tests and AS/NZS 4308:2023 for urine tests. These standards outline specific collection, handling and analysis procedures to ensure accuracy and integrity. When testing follows these standards and uses NATA-accredited laboratories, the results are considered valid for workplace safety and compliance programs.
