A Business of Substance

I was once asked to explain in several key words what has made The Drug Detection Agency (TDDA) such a successful business opportunity.

This is what I said and still believe today: “ fresh, dynamic, vibrant, exciting, rewarding, interesting and without doubt, game changers.�

I also know that being part of The Drug Detection Agency you will play a strong part in making a positive difference to society. This, accompanied with the people who share the same passion and values, is what has made The Drug Detection Agency the success it is today.

Yes, this is a franchised business and yes there are strict policies, procedures and systems to follow, however always remember this is what separates us from our

competitors; consistency and quality. This is why TDDA is often referred to as ‘The Industry Leaders’ and ‘First Movers’. As an organisation we are strongly focused on quality and R&D and can adapt and roll out new services, technology and/or products with precision and ease. Experience counts for everything and The Drug Detection Agency is a mature organisation. Our brand is well positioned in the market place and our values create many opportunities for us as an organisation and a market leader.

Being part of TDDA and working together is an exciting journey to become part of our growing global brand in ‘Creating Drug-Free Environments’.

WHAT OUR FRANCHISEES SAY ABOUT US The processes and systems are good, the people are great, the brand is awesome and very professional. The training we received in NZ was outstanding, especially from the business development manager. It changed my thinking and encouraged me to be positive and tackle the things I was not so confident in.

TERRY & YOSHI GUSTERSON - QUEENSLAND I looked for the right business opportunity for 12 months before deciding on TDDA. I wanted a business with low overheads during start up . The level of support I receive is fantastic. After 5 months in the business I purchased my second territory.

CAROLINE EASTWOOD - SOUTH AUSTRALIA TDDA not only offers amazing opportunities in regards to continued growth, ongoing training and support, but it also stands for something important and they are passionate about their brand and business. They were not prepared to sell a franchise to someone who did not fit their criteria, and that to me spoke volumes about their professionalism.

REBECCA RANDALL - NEW SOUTH WALES I believe in what TDDA stand for and after doing a lot of research into a number of other businesses and various franchsiees this was the best fit for me. After meeting with the management team I was confident this was a business I wanted to be part of.

WORKING TOGETHER Franchising is a great way to join a successful brand while enjoying the freedom of owning your own business.

Through a thriving network of Franchisees, TDDA will continue to grow. Together we can serve more clients, increase public awareness around the risks of drugs and alcohol by providing health and safety solutions and making a real difference in the workplace.

On our website there is a ‘Discovery Tour’ that will take you through the TDDA business and the opportunities.

TERRITORIES Territories are available in all states of Australia.

Owning your own territory allows you to: • Provide services to businesses and individuals within your territory • Establish mobile testing facilities • Develop and market your business • Conduct testing through referrals from TDDA Business Development Managers • Conduct testing through referrals from other Franchisees both in Australia and New Zealand • Establish training and education programs TDDA is a supplier to both national and multi-national companies and Franchisees benefit from referrals within the group.

Where large companies require extensive testing at short notice, neighbouring Franchisees can work together outside their territory to service that client. All Franchisees share the benefits on a job-by-job basis. Working as national, state and local teams distinguishes TDDA from other businesses.

This is a competitive advantage as large clients demand multi-state and national capability.
