Why Re-Accreditation Is Required

Drug and alcohol testing in workplaces—particularly in safety-critical industries
such as mining, transport, construction, and aviation—must follow strict collection and documentation procedures.

If procedures are not followed correctly, test results may be challenged or ruled invalid in legal proceedings.

Re-accreditation ensures collectors:

  • Maintain current knowledge of drug and alcohol testing procedures
  • Follow chain of custody requirements
  • Remain compliant with Australian Standards
  • Produce legally defensible drug testing results
  • Maintain professional credibility as a workplace collector

For many employers and testing providers, re-accreditation every 2 years is mandatory to remain authorised to conduct collections.

Delivered by Onsite Diagnostics Pty Ltd (RTO 91700), this course equips participants with the practical skills required for urine and oral fluid specimen collection, conduct breath alcohol testing, and manage legally defensible workplace drug testing programs.

This training aligns with Australian Standards AS/NZS 4308:2023 and AS/NZS 4760:2019, ensuring specimen collection procedures meet workplace compliance and chain-of-custody requirements.
