A mother leaves after her child is born and the father has raised the child for the child's entire life (6 years). It turns out that he is not the biological father. Does the real biological mother or father have any legal claim to the child if they come back 6 years later, despite the fact that the man who has raised the child for 6 years is on the birth certificate as the child’s father? This case is based in NSW, Australia so would be helpful in relation to Australian family law, please.

So sadly the best / most correct answer is maybe...
So if either bio parent made the effort, the court might consider a slow progressive re-introduction of the child to that parent. So maybe...
Chances of the kid eventually doing sleepovers with the other parent through a court order? Yep a possibility.
Likelyhood a court would order the child be removed from your care? There is always a maybe... But this is one I'd bet the sheep station on that you've got nothing to worry about.
