Greg Collins

Slip Test Technician

The Person Behind Surface Test Australia

I started Surface Test Australia because I saw a real need — facility managers, property owners, and business operators across Melbourne were struggling to find someone they could trust to test their floors properly, explain the results clearly, and provide genuinely useful recommendations.

Too many businesses were either ignoring floor safety entirely (and carrying enormous liability risk) or paying corporate testing firms premium prices for impersonal service and jargon-filled reports. I knew there had to be a better way.

That better way is simple: a qualified technician who turns up on time, tests your floors thoroughly to Australian Standards, and gives you a comprehensive report you can actually understand — all with a personal touch that large firms simply cannot match.

When you call Surface Test Australia, you speak directly with me. I am the person who will test your floors, write your report, and answer your questions — before, during, and after the job. No middlemen, no sales teams, no call centres.

Why Floor Safety Matters

Slip and fall incidents are among the most common causes of serious injury in Australian workplaces and public spaces. I am passionate about helping prevent them.

Protecting People

Every floor I test is a floor that has been properly assessed for safety. Whether it is a busy restaurant kitchen, an aged care facility, a retail store, or a commercial building foyer, my testing helps ensure that the people walking on those surfaces are protected from preventable slip injuries.

Supporting Businesses

I understand that compliance can feel overwhelming. My role is to make the process straightforward for you. I handle the technical testing, provide clear documentation, and give you practical advice on what to do next. You get the compliance evidence you need without the headache.
