(3) However, the registrar may include
information about the identity of a parent who did not sign the birth
registration application if—

did not sign because—
(i) the parent is dead; or
(ii) the parent’s
whereabouts are unknown; or
(iii) the parent is unable to sign the
application; or
(iv) the parent is, for another justifiable reason, unable to
apply; or
(b) the registrar is satisfied that the other parent does not
dispute the correctness of the information; or
(c) the registrar is entitled
under a law, including a law of another State or the Commonwealth, to make a
presumption as to the identity of the child’s parent.

prescribed under a regulation, the registrar may require a person who claims
that someone is a parent of a child to prove it by giving the registrar a copy
of a court finding mentioned in the Status of Children Act 1978, section 26.
