This is a DNA test kit that you can order right now. You will receive your discreet kit in the mail within 2 days. The kit contains cheek swabs and return envelopes.
You can take the DNA samples in the comfort and privacy of your own home and return them for processing immediately.
As soon as we receive payment, our lab will begin the DNA extraction and analysis process. This takes up to 7-10 days, at which time we send you your confidential results.
Legally Admissible DNA Test
The cost of a legally admissible DNA test including sample analysis (for mother, 1 child and assumed father) for paternity testing is $770.
The Medvet Legally Admissible DNA Tests are accredited by NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities). Accreditation is required for the DNA test results to be valid in a court of law. The testing laboratory is accredited specifically for parentage testing under NATA’s forensic science laboratory accreditation program. Regular external auditing by acknowledged technical experts verify our laboratory’s compliance to the international standard ISO/IEC 17025. This verification of technical competency provides a high level of confidence to both the courts and to individual clients.
A sample will be taken from each person taking part in the test. However, separate appointment times may be arranged if required.
The taking of samples is completely painless and involves collecting a sample from inside the cheek using cotton swab.
Legally Admissible Parentage Testing Forms & Costs
Benefits for the family
If a family is uncertain of who the father may be, our parentage test will provide certainty and peace of mind.
If paternity is in dispute, or is being contested for purposes of financial support, then a Parentage test will provide proof so that the correct responsibilities can be decided.
If the biological father of your child disputes financial support, a DNA test by Medvet will provide you with a report admissible to the Family Law Court.
If the assumed father believes he has been incorrectly nominated as the father of a child, a Parentage test would provide a conclusive answer.
Evidence of parentage may also be beneficial in cases of adoption, inheritance, or sponsored immigration.
A DNA test performed by us will provide a reliable result that can be trusted. Results are produced within two weeks and can be posted or collected from our testing centre in Adelaide.
Results are conclusive. A man can be excluded as the father with 100% certainty, whilst results identifying the father are conclusive with 99.5% certainty.
