Surrogacy Testing

Return home with the newest member of your family as soon as possible

DNAQ offers fast and affordable DNA testing for couples undergoing international surrogacy arrangements. We are a NATA accredited laboratory based in Brisbane, Australia, and are approved by the Department of Home Affairs to undertake paternity testing to establish a genetic link between the biological parent and child, for visa and citizenship purposes for children born via surrogacy.

Testing starts from $800 and includes express processing at no additional cost. We understand the first few weeks are precious, and we aim to get your new family member home as quickly as possible.

Australian couples should apply for DNA testing prior to the birth and can undergo testing themselves before travelling overseas for the birth of their child. We will send a testing kit for the biological parent/s to their home address to have their samples collected in Australia.

Before the child is born we will organise to have our DNA testing kit and paperwork sent overseas to the panel collection clinic specified by the Department of Home Affairs in your Invitation to Undertake DNA Testing.

Once the child has been born our DNA testing kit will be waiting at your chosen panel collection clinic for your child’s collection, and you will be able to contact the clinic directly to schedule your appointment. Samples are then returned to our laboratory in Brisbane via DHL Express Couriers.

Once we receive the child’s sample at our laboratory, we process the sample in 1-2 working days so you can return home with the newest member of your family as soon as possible.

DNAQ is a proud provider of DNA testing services for clients of the Lotus Surrogacy agency and International Star Assistance Group.

“I would like to thank you and your hard working team, for the wonderful support, consistent emails, prompt replies and quick efficient turnaround times your Lab has done for us. Being in another country and having 3 newborn daughters born at once has been a great, fun and exciting time for us but starting the whole process to get them home can be quite a long and daunting task but with your Lab turning the samples around quickly has assisted us with getting our 3 beautiful daughters home quickly and safely which is every new parents wish! Thank you.”
