CanTEST Health and Drug Testing Service
The ACT Government has launched Australia’s first fixed-site health and drug checking service.
The CanTEST Health and Drug Checking Service is operated by Directions Health Services with technical assistance from Pill Testing Australia.
Drug checking is a harm reduction service (also known as pill testing) that analyses the contents of drugs to help service users better understand the unknown and potentially dangerous substances in illicit drugs.
ACT Policing supports harm minimisation and health protection initiatives. When considering illicit and illegal drugs - ACT Policing’s focus remains on those who sell and profit from these dangerous substances and we will relentlessly target those who participate in this trade.
It remains a crime to sell or possess illicit drugs, however police can apply discretion and will consider discretion when a drug checking facility is operational.
If anyone is suspected of selling and profiting from illegal drugs, ACT Policing will continue target them wherever they may be in the Territory.
