Melbourne Residents Can Now Access At-Home DNA Methylation Testing
Life X DNA™ provides at-home DNA methylation testing for individuals seeking to understand how their genetic profile may influence key areas of health, including detoxification, cardiovascular function, and neurological wellbeing. The test is designed to support informed, science-based decisions about lifestyle, diet, and supplementation.
The genetic methylation test in Melbourne is delivered as a self-collection kit, allowing users to complete the process entirely at home without visiting a clinic. Using next-generation sequencing, the test analyses over 200 million genetic markers—including MTHFR and other methylation-related genes—linked to nutrient metabolism, homocysteine regulation, and neurotransmitter balance.
These same kits are available nationwide, with DNA methylation tests in Australia accessible to residents in all states and territories. The reports include both genetic and epigenetic insights, offering a personalised overview of factors that may contribute to fatigue, inflammation, or mood-related health concerns.
All data is processed securely, and Life X DNA™ adheres to strict privacy protocols in line with Australian regulations. The service is intended for educational purposes and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions.

Life X DNA™ Expands Access To Genetic Methylation Testing In Canberra
Life X DNA™, an Australia-based provider of advanced DNA analysis, has announced the availability of its genetic methylation testing in Canberra services in Canberra, ACT. The company's at-home test kits are designed to offer individuals insights into their genetic methylation pathways, including analysis of the MTHFR gene and related health markers. Methylation is a fundamental biochemical process that influences DNA repair, detoxification, cardiovascular health, and neurological function. Variations in genes such as MTHFR can impact the efficiency of these processes, potentially affecting an individual's risk for certain health conditions. Through methylation tests, users can assess their genetic predispositions and receive information that may assist in making informed decisions about diet, supplementation, and lifestyle. The Life X DNA™ service utilises a simple cheek swab to collect DNA samples, which are then analysed using next-generation sequencing and AI-powered software. According to the company, the analysis covers over 200 million SNPs and more than 80 million variants. The resulting reports provide detailed information on methylation efficiency, MTHFR gene variants, homocysteine levels, and associated health risks. Recommendations are tailored to the individual's genetic profile. In Canberra, genetic methylation testing is available via mail-order kits, making the process accessible without the need for clinic visits. The reports generated from these tests are intended for informational and educational purposes only and are not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions. Life X DNA™ is fully Australian owned and operated, with data privacy and security protocols in place. The company states that personal genetic data is not shared with third parties and is stored securely offline. The expansion of genetic methylation testing in Canberra reflects growing interest in personalised health insights based on DNA analysis. Life X DNA™'s services are also available in other major Australian cities and New Zealand.

Signing of build contract edges closer
After years of delay, the government is finally edging closer to a contract with an Australian construction giant to build the new Dunedin hospital, the ODT understands. Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand (HNZ) is expected to send CPB Contractors a letter saying it plans to hire the firm to construct the inpatient building. Crown manager Evan Davies' role for the government requires him to negotiate a draft contract and present it to ministers for signing by mid-September. However, there are hurdles that mean the process could take longer, including getting an implementation business case through legally required Treasury approval. The re-employment of former programme director Tony Lloyd in Mr Davies' team raises the likelihood that the proposed contract will have fine print that shares at least some of any overspend risk between government and CPB, rather than HNZ paying a fixed price set in advance. Mr Davies, Mr Lloyd and senior CPB executives are known to have all favoured a shared-risk deal when discussing possible contracts three years ago. Responding on social media to a post by a CPB legal adviser about the problems of fixed-price contracts, Mr Lloyd said he "fully agreed". Fixed-price contracts are usually priced higher to protect the contractor against any rising costs but, depending on construction prices and other variables, are no guarantee that a project's costs will be contained. One independent construction expert — who did not wish to be named — said the type of contract would make little difference to the job's price compared with the cost of the lengthy delays to date. "It will be six of one and half a dozen of the other," they said. However, a shared-risk arrangement could prevent pricey legal pain down the track. CPB and the government have had various scuffles, including time in the High Court over escalating costs of a sports centre build in Christchurch. Meanwhile, the foundations of the inpatient building are likely to get under way. Health Minister Simeon Brown told the ODT that capping of the 324 piles already on the site would start soon, followed by work on the perimeter of the basement to form the base for the substructure. "The third part of the process will be installing the base isolators and then the frame of the main construction," he said. HNZ did not answer a question about the letter of intent to CPB but said that "commercial and delivery arrangements for the inpatient building are continuing to progress.'
