Birth Registrations (Western Australia Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages)

The Birth Registration Statement contains the details prescribed by Regulation, including, but not limited to: details of the baby such as sex, birth weight and whether a multiple birth; date and place of birth; and details of the parents and previous children. The parents of a child are jointly responsible for having the child's birth registered. A parent of a child born in WA and the Chief Executive Officer of a hospital, or any person responsible for the professional care of a mother at the birth, are each required to supply to the Registrar details relating to the birth of the child. Registration details are entered electronically by Births, Deaths and Marriages staff.
