PARENTAGE TESTING PROCEDURE REPORT

NAME OF CHILD WHOSE

PARENTAGE IS IN ISSUE: (insert child’s name)

PART I

1. I, (insert name of nominated reporter), of (insert street address of laboratory where testing was performed), (insert occupation), am a person nominated by the laboratory specified below to prepare a report for the purposes of paragraph 69ZB(b) of the Family Law Act 1975.

2. I report that *a parentage testing procedure/*parentage testing procedures being:

*(a) red cell antigen blood grouping;

*(b) red cell enzyme blood grouping;

*(c) testing for serum markers;

*(d) HLA tissue typing;

*(e) DNA typing;

*has/*have been carried out on the bodily *sample/*samples contained in the sealed *container/*containers bearing the *name/*names of the following *donor/*donors:

(a) (insert donor’s name, date of birth and relationship to child whose parentage is in issue);

*(b) (insert donor’s name, date of birth and relationship to child whose parentage is in issue);

*(c) (insert donor’s name, date of birth and relationship to child whose parentage is in issue);

*(d) (insert donor’s name, date of birth and relationship to child whose parentage is in issue).

3. Each bodily sample referred to in item 2 is the same bodily sample as the bodily sample specified in the statement completed on (insert date) by (insert name of sampler) in accordance with Form 4 in Schedule 1 of the Family Law Regulations.

4. The parentage testing *procedure was/*procedures were carried out at (insert name and street address of *laboratory/*laboratories where testing was performed) on (insert date/s).

5. The results of the parentage testing *procedure/*procedures are set out in Part II of this report.

*6. I report that the results of the parentage testing *procedure/*procedures carried out on the bodily *sample/*samples of the donors specified above show that (insert name of putative parent) is not excluded from identification as the *father/*mother of (insert name of child whose parentage is in issue).

\[OR\]
\*6. I report that the results of the parentage testing \*procedure/\*procedures carried out on the bodily \*sample/\*samples of the donors specified above show that (insert name of putative parent) is excluded from identification as the \*father/\*mother of (insert name of child whose parentage is in issue).
\*7. I further report that the probability that (insert name of putative parent) is the genetic \*father/\*mother of (insert name of child whose parentage is in issue) has been calculated as follows:
Putative \*father/\*mother is (insert figure) times more likely to produce a child with the required alleles than a \*man/\*woman drawn randomly from the general population. This equates to a Relative Chance of \*Paternity/\*Maternity of (insert figure).
\[OR\]
\*7. I further report that the exclusion is based on contradictions of the laws of genetic inheritance in (insert amount) of the (insert amount) genetic markers: (insert the names of the genetic markers and whether the contradictions are of the first or second order).
\*8. I further report (if necessary, provide further explanation of results detailed in item 6 or 7, or both).
