What is Immigration DNA
testing?
The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (formerly
Department of Immigration and Citizenship) will at times
ask an applicant or sponsor for confirmation of a biological
relationship for entry applications to Australia.
This confirmation may be in the form of a DNA test to confirm
maternity, paternity or other relationship.
Accreditation
DNALabs is accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA)
under the Australian standard for diagnostic testing
ISO17025.
Requirements of the Department
of Immigration and Border Protection
Our laboratory complies with the regulations set out by the
Department of Immigration and Border Protection's DNA testing. This
covers areas from the collection and transport of samples to
witnessing requirements overseas and reporting of results.
DNALabs liaises internationally to arrange collections and
to ensure all processes meet the standards set by the Department of
Immigration and Border Protection.
