Description
Choosing our Brunswick West clinic for in-person hair alcohol testing means working with a team that prioritises accuracy, chain of custody, and clear communication from start to finish.
Why Choose Our Hair Alcohol Testing Services
- We measure ethyl glucuronide (EtG) — a scientifically validated biomarker that indicates alcohol consumption. It can distinguish heavy drinking from low or moderate use with reliable accuracy.
- Extended detection window. Hair analysis reveals up to 6 months of drinking history, far beyond the hours-to-days window of breath, blood, or urine testing. Essential where long-term abstinence or chronic consumption must be evidenced.
- Built for legal matters. Widely used in family law, child protection, custody disputes, parenting orders, and workplace abstinence programs. Our reports are structured to meet Australian evidentiary standards.
- Forensic expertise. Our analysis is performed in a NATA-accredited Australian laboratory (ISO 17025), with collections conducted by AHPRA-registered practitioners.
- End-to-end service. From hair collection through laboratory analysis, expert interpretation, and court testimony, every step is handled in one place.
- Fast turnaround. Court-admissible results within 5–7 business days of sample collection and payment.
- Non-invasive and discreet. A single 15-minute appointment, no breathalysers, no needles, and a tamper-resistant sample that can’t be diluted or substituted.
- Transparent pricing. Fixed, all-inclusive fees — no hidden appointment surcharges.
A note on segment pricing
Pricing covers a single 3 cm hair segment, equal to approximately 3 months of growth. Longer detection windows require multiple segments tested individually to preserve biomarker concentration and prevent dilution — for example, a 6-month assessment uses two 3 cm segments, each charged at the standard rate.
