If I am on a Centrelink payment or some type of pension, will this be taken into account if there are any processing fees?
Yes, it will. Most of the community service agencies holding records will not charge a fee to Indigenous people seeking access to their personal records. The agencies listed in Finding Your Story’s Getting Help section do not charge fees for their services. If you are applying for adoption information, or access to government records under Freedom of Information, the normal fees are waived.You can make an application to have the normal fees waived when applying for birth, death and marriage certificates. The fact that you are on a Centrelink payment is sufficient evidence of possible financial hardship, and any fees will be waived.
