For over two decades, Test Australia has delivered scientifically rigorous, ethically sound contamination testing services across Australia. We're committed to protecting property owners with accurate, independent assessments.
With over 24 years of hands-on experience in forensic contamination assessment, Dan Neil brings genuine scientific expertise to an industry often plagued by unqualified operators and conflicted interests.
As a Chartered Chemist (MRACI CChem) with the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, and an Occupational Hygienist (AIOH Member, 15 years), Dan holds some of Australia's most rigorous professional chemistry qualifications. This isn't a weekend certification — it represents years of education, examination, and peer review.
Dan's approach is simple: apply real forensic science to property contamination, maintain complete arms-length independence from laboratories, cleaning companies and remediation firms, and return properties to pre-loss condition as efficiently as possible.

In an unregulated industry, we've built our reputation on genuine expertise, ethical practice, and unwavering commitment to scientific accuracy.
We don't own laboratories, cleaning companies, or remediation firms — maintaining the arms-length independence that the Australian contamination guidelines emphasise as essential. Unlike competitors who hide their ownership of remediation businesses, we have zero financial interest in recommending unnecessary work.
Real scientific methodology, not template testing. We distinguish manufacturing from use and provide defensible source determination.
Our qualifications are independently verifiable through the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. No falsified overseas certifications.
Our goal is returning properties to pre-loss condition as quickly as possible — not prolonging assessments for profit.
Clear, comprehensive reports that explain findings in plain English while maintaining scientific rigour for legal defensibility.
We believe informed property owners make better decisions. Our educational resources help you understand the industry.
