HEADLINE: Leading Workplace Drug Testing Provider Sober Check Announces Australian Expansion Plans at AddictionZ 2026
Gold Coast, Queensland - Sober Check, one of Australasia’s leading providers of certified workplace drug testing solutions and screening technology, announced that it is further expanding its presence across Australia.
Participating as an exhibitor at the AddictionZ 2026 conference at the RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast, Sober Check outlined its plans to expand its services and products beyond the country’s workplaces and into its medical care facilities.
According to Sober Check Australasia CEO, Louis Foster, the conference serves as the perfect launchpad for us to showcase our unique "whole person" approach to screening -a methodology directly complementing the conference's overarching theme; “Whole Person, Whole System, From Hope to Action.”
“We firmly believe that accurate data is the ultimate foundation of trust in the recovery process," said Mr Foster.
"Our philosophy is centred on 'Helping People Help People,’ and a belief that screening shouldn't be about catching individuals out, rather it should be used as an objective, supportive tool that provides clear data to clinicians, caseworkers and families. By removing the guesswork and emotional tension from the recovery journey, we create a far more empathetic treatment environment where genuine action can take place."
Sober Check is utilising AddictionZ 2026 as the industry continues to shift culturally in relation to how drug and alcohol screening equipment is deployed.
As the sector confronts the realities of "Addiction Treatment in a Changing World," the demand for highly specialised addiction treatment technology in Australia has climbed significantly.
To address the rising complexities surrounding emerging substances and behavioural addictions, Sober Check’s stand will showcase a wide range of drug and alcohol screening assets:
-
Police-Grade Breathalysers: Offering rapid, highly accurate blood alcohol concentration (BAC) metrics to monitor alcohol dependency treatment programs safely.
-
High-Accuracy Urine Drug Cups: Enabling on-site medical and rehabilitation teams to screen effectively.
Demonstrating its commitment to grassroots care, Sober Check is breaking down the traditional procurement barriers that often prevent small, regional, or community-led rehab centres from accessing high-tier devices.
At AddictionZ 2026, the company is highlighting its unique capability to fulfil small-batch ordering matrices - allowing smaller clinics to purchase as few as one to five cups at a time without demanding heavy capital outlays.
