I need to access my birth certificate however my father refuses to order me a new one. I am 16, I do not live with him and my carers are not my legal guardians. My mother is dead and my father has not allowed me to contact her family. I have a Medicare card and an expired passport but no other forms of ID. My carers suspect he has stolen my identity, and is using my ID to move his illegitimate child into Australia. How can I get my birth certificate when he refuses to apply for one?
