How can I prove I exist? (quokk.au)

I'm born here and a citizen, however I don't have a passport, nor a copy of a birth certificate yet I need to prove I have a right to work here for a job.

From my look on the gov site, I can use a passport to get my birth certificate or a birth certificate to get a passport. Neither of which is any bloody help.

Does anyone know what to do?

Have you got your identity verified on services vic? If so, you can request a new birth certificate and use your services vic as verification of identity. I just did this recently and the process was pretty smooth.
