AusHealth is an Australian-owned health and wellbeing charity, proudly certified to ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety Management). We provide high-quality services, products, and consultation to researchers, workplaces, and hospitals.

AusHealth Work, a division of The AusHealth Hospital Research Fund, has been a national workplace safety and wellbeing leader since 1985 and specialises in providing drug and alcohol testing services. We are currently seeking to expand our technician network to work with AusHealth clients based in the Mackay/Townsville region.

Possession of a smartphone, current driver's license and reliable vehicle is essential. Whilst not mandatory for all clients, a high number of our clients require staff to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Evidence will be required of this for specific clients.
