Drug & Alcohol Testing in Hobart, Tasmania

Our Saliva Drug & Breath Alcohol Testing service is one of the most popular types of tests we perform in Hobart. Saliva drug testing is the ideal testing method for many Hobart businesses and organisations for their random, incident, cause and return-to-work testing needs.

At Relevant Drug Testing Solutions we use the latest in electronic saliva drug testing equipment to provide a completely auditable trail from start to finish of your drug testing program.

The use of such devices ensures no operator objectivity or subjectivity as the device completes all analysis independently to the same standard at all times.

Relevant’s drug testing device has been independently evaluated by the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine (VIFM) to meet the requirement of AS/NZS 4760:2019. It also allows for samples to be heated automatically if required should the testing be conducted in a colder environment.

Timed incubation and analysis period ensures for even greater quality control not allowing operators to “speed up” the test to enable for more tests to be completed within a set timeframe.

Since 2002, we have searched the world for the very best in Saliva Drug Testing equipment, had it independently verified and then bought it back to Hobart and the rest of Tasmania to perform the most accurate onsite drug and alcohol testing possible.

Urine drug testing (or sometimes called urinalysis) provides a longer detection period over oral fluid (saliva) drug testing. It is a common drug testing method in the health care environment and also used in the workplace, particularly for pre-employment testing.

We conduct onsite urine drug tests in Hobart and across Tasmania (and Australia) using a device which has been independently verified for performance to the required cut-off levels as per Appendix B of Australian Standard AS 4308-2008.

Appendix B covers Amphetamine type substances (Amphetamines and Methamphetamines), Benzodiazepines, Cannabis metabolites, Cocaine metabolites and Opiates. It does not cover synthetic drugs, however we can also test for these if required.

Breath testing for alcohol remains the most popular and convenient method for testing for recent alcohol use.

At Relevant we use the latest fuel cell based breathalysers which are fully compliant to AS 3547:2019 and regularly calibrated in accordance per Australian Standard requirements.
