Paternity and relationship testing in Australia.
Find the answers you need.
Paternity Testing
Paternity tests are the most commonly ordered DNA test and are used in a variety of cases where the biological father needs to be confirmed. Modern DNA tests can verify whether a man is the father with more than 99.99% accuracy, and can exclude a man from paternity with 100% accuracy. This test compares a DNA sample of the child with that of the potential father and delivers results via a comprehensive comparison report.
A paternity test conducted at home cannot be used for legal purposes. If you are unsure what sort of test you might need, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.
Maternity Testing
Maternity tests are less common than paternity tests, but are still required for a range of situations. Whether you need proof of a maternal relationship in the absence of a birth certificate, or need to verify a biological relationship for immigration or adoption purposes, this test provides accurate results and is easy to carry out.

Twins Testing
Twins DNA testing is mostly used to satisfy the curiosity of new parents who might be unsure whether their twin babies of the same sex are identical or fraternal. During the early years of childhood, it can be difficult to know this without a DNA test. Our twins test can confirm exactly what sort of twins you have, accurately and reliably, which may even provide insight into important medical decisions parents have to make.

How to choose a DNA testing company
The most important thing that you need to consider when searching for a DNA testing company is accreditation. Always choose a company that has a minimum accreditation standard of ISO 17025. NATA is another important accreditation requirement for Australia.
These codes are the international standard for testing laboratories and means that the lab meets a strict set of requirements, operates a quality management system, and that the staff are technically trained to perform their jobs.
Doing the test and receiving the results
Our DNA tests require a home test kit, which is delivered to the address of your choice. The home test kit contains everything you need to complete your DNA test in the comfort of your own home, including oral swabs, instructions, and details about how to collect, store, and send your sample back to the lab for testing. The turnaround time for getting your results varies between companies, but most arrive in a timely manner. For more specific information on turnaround times, please check the detail information on the relevant DNA test page.
