Drug and alcohol testing. Requested in a click, tracked to result.

Workplace drug and alcohol testing is the screening of candidates and workers, under a workplace policy, for substances that could impair the safe performance of a role. Testing is completed at accredited pathology collection centres under laboratory chain-of-custody standards. Negative results are cleared under clinical business rules; non-negative results are reviewed and interpreted by a Medical Review Officer, a registered doctor, before any outcome reaches the employer. Medrisk delivers this entire workflow, request to result, inside one platform.

Traditional drug and alcohol testing runs on coordination: manual requests to a provider, waiting for bookings, paper referrals, candidates chased by recruiters, results arriving by email days later with no visibility in between. Medrisk replaced the coordination with API integration. Screening is requested from Medrisk’s platform, the candidate selects their preferred location nationwide, 7 days a week, and the laboratory, the collection centre and your dashboard are connected end to end. No manual process, no delays, no unnecessary fees.

No appointments required. Candidates walk in seven days a week at centres with weekend hours, shown live on the map with proximity and opening times. No missed appointments, no cancellation fees, no scheduling delays: the candidate chooses the centre and day that suit them, automated reminders do the rest, and samples are processed directly from the collection centre to the screening laboratory.

Medrisk provides laboratory-based screening through direct integrations with Australia’s largest pathology providers. Every Medrisk test is collected at an accredited pathology centre under full chain of custody and screened to AS 4308, with GC-MS confirmatory testing performed where required by the same laboratory, without handover delays. Confirmed results and reports flow directly back into the Medrisk platform. That is the evidentiary standard disputes and tribunals expect a result to meet: collection, transport, analysis and review, documented end to end.

All results carry senior occupational health doctor oversight. Negative results clear under clinical business rules; non-negative and inconclusive results are interpreted by a Medical Review Officer, a registered doctor who considers context such as prescribed medications, legitimate explanations and retest requirements before an outcome reaches you. Embedded drug and alcohol audit and medication screening questionnaires, completed on the platform, give the reviewing doctor context beyond the lab result alone. Your decision rests on a clinical opinion, never a raw lab flag.

“Drug and alcohol testing near me” is wherever your candidate opens the map: metro, regional or remote, through hundreds of accredited collection centres nationally. Screening is often initiated alongside a role-specific pre-employment medical or a fitness for work assessment, from the same platform, with the same audit trail.
