Apparently if you ask your GP to get them, then you don't have to pay.

my midwife requested them and i (we) received them at no cost.
Birthtalk have a blog describing the things to ask for when requesting your notes. i hope this link is ok

Re: Birth records/history
I tried my GP but they refused, saying that only I could request them. My GP also thought I was mad for asking for a pre-TTC health check. Darn it, Australia, why do you have GPs who will actually try to help?
