Presumption of Parentage Bill

I am pleased to report Births Deaths and Marriages have changed their policy regarding coparents on the birth certificate. Now couples who have used a donor at home are welcome to apply as well couples who used clinic based ART.

There are updated forms available from http://www.ocba.sa.gov.au/bdm/ and also from their office. A statutory declaration will need to be completed by both parents. Where a father has been registered on an existing birth certificate this will still require court intervention to be resolved.
