Australian WWII records

Below is the address for Australian records, which are available for FREE in public domain, unlike UK. However, not all have been digitised as yet.
Navigating your way around the site is a little awkward, be prepared for new boxes to open...

RecordSearch - National Archives of Australia

Record search
Click "Search Now" -as a guest user
Under general search click "Name Search"
Enter surname and select a category from the drop down menu, eg WWWII and
Click search
List appears.
Icon for digital image will appear beside records, if they are available.
Click on it to view the record.

If not available, then you can request record for a small fee. Follow the proceedures and be prepared to state why you are requesting the records.
You will be emailed as soon as you complete application, chose method of transfer [image/hard copy] and payment [very reasonable] and I got records in less time than stated.

[WWI records can also be accessed through this great site.
One day I will get around to searching their photo archives also.]


A search for records eg medals, etc can be done at the Australian War Memorial
Research a person

Australian WWII War Diaries - free but incomplete
Australian Army war diaries - Second World War
