Air / spore-trap workflows, tape-lift workflows, surface samples and bulk materials — examined through a disciplined identification and quality process.
A structured competency cycle — from foundational microscopy through to sustained proficiency.
Microbiome provides technical support for laboratories preparing for or participating in appropriate AIHA-EMPAT activities, including Direct Exam proficiency testing.
Professional site investigation and environmental sample collection.
Analyst examination using direct microscopy and identification protocols.
Professional reporting, interpretation and practical recommendations.
Microbiome was founded to provide independent, evidence-based mould and moisture assessments that help protect the health of occupants and the integrity of buildings. Although newly established, the practice is built on more than 10 years of professional experience in environmental laboratory analysis, asbestos and mould identification, indoor air quality assessment and field investigations — across NATA-accredited laboratories and on-site environments, supporting residential, commercial, industrial and government clients.
We recognised the need for an independent consultancy that focuses on identifying the root cause of mould and moisture issues rather than simply treating the visible symptoms. Today, we're committed to providing professional, transparent, client-focused services that contribute to healthier indoor environments across Greater Sydney.
To improve indoor environmental quality by delivering independent mould and moisture investigations that are scientifically sound, practical, and tailored to each client's needs — identifying the underlying causes, assessing the extent of contamination, and providing clear recommendations for healthier buildings and communities.
We do not remove mould or sell remediation services. That means our advice is focused solely on identifying the cause, documenting the risk and recommending the right next steps — free from commercial bias.
Independent mould, moisture and indoor air quality assessments for homes and buildings across Greater Sydney and surrounding areas.
The principles that guide every inspection.
Every inspection follows a structured process combining building science, moisture investigation, environmental sampling and laboratory expertise.
Clear enough for clients. Detailed enough for professionals.

If mould is visible and its extent, source or type is uncertain, testing and laboratory analysis can help confirm the finding and inform next steps.
A visual inspection, moisture investigation, and — where justified — environmental sampling, followed by an independent written report.
Moisture investigation techniques are used to help locate sources of moisture that may not be immediately visible.
No. Microbiome investigates — we do not remediate. This keeps our assessment independent of remediation sales.
An assessor with no remediation contract to sell can provide findings and recommendations without a commercial conflict of interest.
Airborne mould, surface mould, viable mould, E. coli / coliform, and bulk material samples, among others.
Samples are prepared and examined under direct microscopy, with findings identified, reviewed and reported.
Yes. Use the online sample submission form with chain-of-custody documentation.
A laboratory technique for examining prepared samples under a microscope to identify and characterise findings.
Yes — from assessment and design through to equipping, documentation, training and verification.
Yes, equipment consulting covers microscopes, objectives, imaging and supporting laboratory equipment.
Yes, training covers microscopy fundamentals through to competency assessment and proficiency preparation.
A proficiency testing program relevant to laboratories performing mould identification by direct microscopy. Microbiome provides preparation support — see the official AIHA website for programme details.
Yes, through analyst practice, identification competency review and corrective-action support.
Yes — quality systems, equipment, training and workflow can all be reviewed and improved.
Most residential inspections take between 1–2 hours, depending on the size of the property and the extent of the areas to be assessed. Commercial inspections vary based on the size and complexity of the site.
Inspection findings, photographs, moisture readings, thermal images (where applicable), areas affected, a risk assessment, laboratory results if samples were analysed, moisture source identification, and recommended remediation and preventative actions — written clearly for owners while retaining the technical detail insurers and builders need.
Standard reports are typically provided within a few business days of the inspection. Where laboratory analysis is required, turnaround depends on the laboratory's processing time.
Whether you need an independent environmental assessment or want to establish mould laboratory capability, Microbiome can help you determine the right next step.
