Types of testing

Shafa Health selects these screening methods for their reliability, precision, and ability to deliver fast, accurate results.

Instant Urine Drug Testing

Our instant screening services at Shafa Health comply with AS/NZS 4308:2008 Appendix A, are NATA accredited, and offer a range of benefits, including:

Quick indication of non-negative or negative results for six key drug classes: Amphetamines, Benzodiazepines, Cocaine, Marijuana, Methamphetamines, and Opiates.
Fast, visual interpretation of results by our trained staff.
Same-day documentation provided for all negative results.
Integrity checks and adulteration testing to detect any tampering with samples.
Daily quality control procedures and participation in an external quality assurance program (RCPA) for ongoing reliability.
All instant test samples are collected under supervision or witnessed, following the client’s drug and alcohol policy and in line with Section 2 of the standard.
In accordance with AS/NZS 4308:2008, any non-negative result from an instant test must be followed by confirmatory testing at a NATA-accredited laboratory. In such cases, an interim report is issued indicating that further testing is underway to obtain a legally valid result.

Saliva Drug Screening

Our saliva drug screening service complies with AS/NZS 4760:2019 standards and uses a straightforward, discreet instant immunoassay test to detect both illicit and certain prescription drugs.

This service includes:

Immediate indication of non-negative or negative results for five major drug classes: Amphetamines, Cocaine, Marijuana, Methamphetamines, and Opiates.
Fast, visual interpretation of results by trained Shafa Health staff.
All initial non-negative results are promptly forwarded for mandatory confirmatory testing at a NATA-accredited laboratory to ensure legally valid outcomes.

Breath Alcohol Screening

Shafa Health provides breath alcohol screening as a quick and reliable method to detect the presence of alcohol in a person’s system. Using calibrated, certified breathalysers operated by trained professionals, this non-invasive test delivers immediate results to determine compliance with workplace alcohol policies. Our service is fully compliant with AS 3547 standards and is ideal for pre-employment checks, random testing, post-incident investigations, and fitness-for-duty assessments. All testing is conducted discreetly, with detailed documentation provided to ensure accuracy, consistency, and legal defensibility.

Non Standard Drug Testing

We offer non-standard drug testing services for substances that are not typically included in standard screening panels. This testing is ideal for situations where specific drugs or substances need to be tested, such as designer drugs, synthetic substances, or medications that may not be covered in routine screenings. Our non-standard drug testing is tailored to meet the unique needs of clients and industries, providing accurate and reliable results. All tests are performed using certified methods and equipment, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. We also offer confirmation testing at NATA-accredited laboratories to provide legally defensible results when needed.

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) Confirmatory Testing

We offer Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) confirmatory testing, the gold standard in drug testing, to provide highly accurate and reliable results. GCMS is used to confirm non-negative results from initial screenings, ensuring that the detection of substances is precise and legally defensible. This advanced technique separates and identifies the components of a sample at a molecular level, allowing for the detection of a wide range of drugs and their metabolites. All GCMS testing is conducted at NATA-accredited laboratories, ensuring the highest level of quality and compliance with industry standards.
