Collection Centres & Appointments

Some DNA Testing, such us our Legal Paternity Tests and Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Tests, require the sample to be collected by a third-party, such as a doctor or pathology nurse. We always recommend that clients first approach their local doctor or GP to see if they are willing to assist with the sample collection process. If you are having trouble with arranging the collection of your sample, please see our range of collection options below.

Collection Appointments at DNAQ (Brisbane)
