Brisbane Slip Testing Services

Australian Slip Testing conducts on-site, non-disruptive slip resistance testing across Brisbane using NATA-accredited methods in accordance with AS 4586 and AS 4663.

Wet Pendulum Slip Testing is the most widely used slip test method in Australia, measuring slip resistance under wet conditions using a calibrated pendulum device. It applies to commercial, retail, external, and public environments and is widely accepted in legal and insurance contexts. Visit our wet pendulum slip testing guide.

Dry Floor Friction Testing measures the Coefficient of Friction on dry internal surfaces using the Tortus Floor Friction Tester. It is used for internal environments expected to remain dry, including corridors, office lobbies, and retail spaces. Visit our dry floor friction testing guide.

Who We Work With in Brisbane

Australian Slip Testing works with a broad range of Brisbane clients across the public and private sectors.

Strata and body corporate managers require testing across common area pathways, car parks, pool decks, stairways, and external walkways. We work with body corporates and strata managers across Brisbane’s high-density apartment and commercial strata market. Visit our strata managers guide to slip testing.

Facilities management companies use independent slip testing as part of scheduled safety audits and risk management programs across Brisbane’s commercial, retail, and institutional portfolio. Visit our slip testing guide for facilities management companies.

Commercial property owners and managers require testing across office lobbies, lift foyers, corridors, stairways, ramps, and entry points. High foot traffic and regular cleaning across Brisbane’s CBD and suburban office markets can degrade floor surface performance over time.

Retail and shopping centres present consistent slip risks across tiled concourses, food courts, amenities, and entry points. We service major Brisbane retail precincts and suburban shopping centres across the region.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities require careful assessment across clinical corridors, wet areas, and patient bathrooms across Brisbane’s significant public and private healthcare network.

Aged care facilities must manage slip risk for residents with varying mobility. Regular testing is a key part of duty of care obligations across Brisbane’s growing aged care sector. Visit our guide to slip testing for schools, aged care, and vulnerable person environments.

Builders and developers use slip resistance testing during building handover to confirm compliance with NCC requirements and AS 4586 classifications across Brisbane’s active construction market. Visit our slip testing guide for builders and construction.

Cleaning companies and contractors use slip testing to verify floor performance before and after cleaning treatments on Brisbane commercial properties. Visit our slip testing guide for cleaning companies.

What is NATA accreditation and why does it matter?

NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) accreditation means our testing methods and reporting systems have been independently assessed against internationally recognised standards under ISO/IEC 17025. For Brisbane clients, NATA accreditation means your results are objective, traceable, and suitable for compliance, legal, and insurance purposes. Not every provider in the market is accredited for this work. Read why NATA accreditation should be a hard requirement in your procurement process.

How much does slip testing cost in Brisbane?

Pricing starts at $375, though ultimately depends on the size of the site, number of test locations, and testing methods required. Call 0405 042 814 or contact us online for a free, no-obligation quote.

Do you provide a written report after testing?

Yes. Every inspection includes a detailed written report outlining tested areas, surface descriptions, methods used, slip resistance classifications, and practical commentary suitable for compliance, insurance, and risk management purposes.

Do you provide sample slip testing for floor selection in Brisbane?

Yes. Through our laboratory at Australian Slip Ratings, we provide sample slip testing for architects, designers, and developers selecting floor surfaces for Brisbane projects. Sample testing allows you to confirm a floor surface meets the required AS 4586 classification before it is installed.
