Refer to pp. 3 of the memorandum for information relating to birth certificates.
People who changed genders were previously unable to change sex on birth certificates and other official documentation if they were married, as state or territory governments could refuse to do this as it could be seen as facilitating a same-sex union. Many transgender people were forced to divorce if they wanted to officially change gender. From 9 December [2018], state and territory governments will no longer be able to block changes to birth certificates and other documents.

But taking the political temperature of the two states shows that supposedly dour Victorians are loosening their corsets and becoming much more progressive.
Jeff Kennett, for all his bluster... now spends some of his days campaigning against discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex people.... Most Australians support gay marriage, but nowhere more strongly than in Victoria.
R. Allen, Victorian Gender and Sexuality Commissioner: Every time somebody calls our families 'Gay propaganda' and says we are 'Not normal' it's a step backwards...I'm just glad Victoria is more progressive and [Victorian Premier] Daniel Andrews took a strong stance in support of [the film Gayby Baby] and of LGBTI families.
Interest groups that have lobbied for years on gender and LGBTI issues in particular are finding a receptive government determined to make big leaps, to change the culture in fundamental ways.... Earlier this year, Andrews scoffed at the national fuss over the Safe Schools program that aims to ensure a safe environment for LGBTI students and, again, get students thinking about stereotypes and discrimination.
