Who we are
First Company To Sell Home DNA Tests Online 1997
In 1996 all labs used blood and you had to visit the lab to get a DNA test. DNA Solutions changed all that — we created an easier way to get a DNA test in Australia, with kits available online in 1997.
As the leading provider of DNA tests in Australia we strive to offer the best DNA services in the market, focusing on customer satisfaction offering short result turn-around times, excellent customer service and accredited laboratory quality services. All exclusions (non-paternity) are tested twice and we can exclude paternity with 100% accuracy.
We take great pride in our work, renowned across the industry for our professionalism and care, DNA Solutions is the company you can trust with DNA tests in Australia.
HOW WE DO IT
Our DNA testing process
Navigating the world of lab and home DNA tests can feel overwhelming, but with our simple step-by-step process, we make it easy for you to get the answers you need. Here’s how our DNA tests in Australia work:
- Order your kit
Start by selecting the DNA test that suits your needs from our wide range of services, whether it’s paternity testing, immigration verification or relationship testing. Place your order online, and we’ll promptly send you a home DNA test directly to your door. - Collect your sample
Our home DNA test kit includes everything you need to collect your DNA sample in the comfort and privacy of your own home. The process is simple and non-invasive — typically involving a quick swab of the inside of your cheek. Detailed instructions are provided to guide you through every step. - Send to our lab
Once you’ve collected your sample, use the prepaid packaging included in your home DNA tests kit to send it back to our state-of-the-art laboratory. Our streamlined process ensures that your sample arrives securely and is processed promptly. - Receive your results
After your sample is received, our team of experts will analyse it using advanced genetic testing technology. In just a few days, you’ll receive a detailed and confidential report outlining the results of your home DNA test. Depending on the test, results can be delivered digitally or by mail, providing you with the answers you need quickly and securely.
For DNA tests in Australia that have legal implications, such as paternity tests that require more stringent verification, we follow a different process. In these cases, blood samples may be needed, and our certified professionals will handle the collection to ensure accuracy and compliance with legal standards. This process helps us meet all legal requirements and provides you with results that can be used in court or other legal matters.

FAQ
All client information and DNA test results are strictly confidential. Results will only be issued to the person who signed the sample submission form. We also request a password from you for your added protection and confidentiality.
Our DNA tests are done within 5 business days, with the option to get express results in 3 or 2 business days. Some non-standard DNA tests may take a little longer. In essence, times vary depending on how busy the laboratory is.
To obtain accuracy for your DNA test, we want to compare a lot of DNA between each person — in this way, the result can be more certain. DNA Solutions tests 23 regions of DNA in each person. You will find this is more than other laboratories.
This makes testing for relationships vastly more accurate, and also increases certainty in various situations, such as when 1 of 2 brothers could be the father.
For our paternity testing, typically we get a result above 99.99% certainty. Other relationship tests (i.e. brother to sister tests) can vary between 99% to 99.9%. The eventual accuracy number depends on what type of DNA you have (how common or rare each point of DNA we test is in the population), and how many of these rare or common DNA types you share with the other person/s being tested.

No, we do not need the mother’s consent to perform DNA testing in Australia. We need the terms and conditions read and signed by one person who is taking responsibility for the test. Paternity tests can be performed with samples from the father and child only.
We can work with a variety of biological samples. However, for paternity testing, we recommend a mouth swab, as this is completely reliable and painless. Hair samples are also common but can be more difficult to take. Children with fine hair, and elderly with grey hair, usually do not provide good hair specimens.
