Hi Joyce, That sounds promising. If they have a department that deals with disclosure of information, it must mean that they do sometimes let people have information like this. I hope so. Good luck. Kath. x

Joyce, have you looked on the National Archives of Australia website? (should be the first Hit if you google.) I've found service records and such like there. They also have images, but no guarantee of any particular person, of course. It's well worth a look. Christine

Hi Joyce, Personally, I don't think they will send out copies of passports even if they do keep records that long (which I doubt). Hope I'm wrong though for your sake. Kath. x
