Had a terrible time with solicitor, £3k for a court order and 6-9 months to do, however rang oz house again because fathers name not on birth cert, no pr and no contact ever and this is what they sent me

Children born to unmarried parents BEFORE 1 Dec 2003 (England and Wales)

For purposes of visas for Australia, Immigration must enquire whether the unmarried father has acquired PR by agreement or court order, and if he has not, Immigration does not need to seek his consent. A solicitor, for example, may present a letter confirming that no PR orders have been lodged on the father’s behalf


So better news, only costing £500 now and will be done alot quicker now.........thanks for asking,
