Hi All I have just received my newsletter from lost cousin and there is an
article in it I thought might be of interest:-

CERTIFICATES LOST IN BUSHFIRES TO BE REPLACED FREE

Australians who lost their possessions in the recent bushfires have been
offered free replacement birth and marriage certificates by the Australian
state registrars and also by the New Zealand authorities (see this article
on the Victoria state website). Unfortunately it seems they are only
offering to replace certificates for living people - genealogists and others
who lost historic certificates may have to pay for replacements.



Her is the address of the article

and this is the address of the article they talk about

Hope this helps, Trevena
