Do I need the birth certificate?
Just a quick question. When handing in proof of birth to Centerlink (for PPL) do I need to have the actual birth certificate from Births, deaths and marriages? Or does the hospital provide something similar that they will accept? A few people have told me that they had to wait a couple of weeks to receive their birth certificate before they could hand it in, which I am a little concerned about...
Thanks :)
ETA: I did call centerlink, but their estimated wait time was over 30 minutes.

As mentioned we just completed the online application for PPL and then the forms at the hospital. Centrelink seemed to approve it all way before the birth certificate arrived.
