ChemCentre is the Western Australian Government statutory authority that provides expert analytical and scientific information to government, industry and the community. It exists to provide essential chemical and forensic services to ensure a safe and prosperous Western Australian community. ChemCentre was established by the Western Australian Government in the 1890s and has grown and evolved over the past 120 years to achieve recognition as a leader in analytical chemistry and forensic science. We provide routine analytical services, as well as specialised method development and unique analyses for less common chemicals of interest. Our scientists provide clients with high quality analyses, legally defensible data and where required, expert interpretation and legal testimony. As the Western Australian Government analytical laboratory, with responsibilities in emergency response, forensic science and public and environmental health, we maintain a core of world-class expertise and equipment at our headquarters in Bentley, Western Australia. The same expertise and equipment is used to service our industry clients, not only in Western Australia, but also nationally and in Asia, Europe and the United States. Our laboratories are accredited and compliant with all National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) requirements for Chemical Testing and Forensic Science. Consequently, we comply fully with all relevant clauses of ISO/IEC 17025 and meet the principles of ISO 9001.
