We know how significant the outcomes of DNA testing can be and it can be done so with the upmost respect towards patients confidentiality. If you believe you are or know of someone that is a victim needing confirmation of a paternity test, please see below a list of Accredited DNA paternity testing companies around Australia. First you must select your company to complete your DNA testing with. Secondly you must make the initial contact, which will then be followed by preparations to collect each sample. Lastly you will be delivered your results with a comprehensive explanation.

Did you know that there is now also non-invasive prenatal paternity testing you can have done during pregnancy? Paternity can be determined by analysing DNA that has been extracted from the maternal blood. This test is non-invasive and only requires a 10ml blood sample from the mother and the alleged father. It is a very safe practice to do for everyone that is involved. Testing is validated from 7 weeks gestational age, with optimal testing from 10 weeks gestational age. 

Please be advised the results from a prenatal paternity DNA test are not permissible in a court of law and for ‘peace of mind’ purposes only. A court will still require a legal DNA paternity test to be completed once the baby has been born to confirm paternity.
