New Zealand BDMS online
Well I hope that this caught your attention, because it did mine. The new Birth, Death and Marriage Historical Records website, is now available where you can search New Zealand Government records for births, deaths and marriages (BDM).
To achieve the best search result have an idea of the date range you are looking at.
If you have a brick wall and cannot find a death for a Victorian ancestor consider that they went to New Zealand - some of mine did!
A certificate can be purchased from the same site.

Tasmanian BDM Registry Access Policy
The Tasmanian Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages has revised its Access Policy. From 1 April 2008 unrestricted access will be
. 100 years for birth records
. 25 years for death records, and
. 75 years for marriage records.
As for the Victorian and other Registries the new policy is driven by longer longevity of the Australian population and privacy.
Other Australian Registries of Births, Deaths and Marriages have made or are considering similar changes to their Access Policy, in ongoing efforts to standardise access provisions across jurisdictions.

Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages
The Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages will release a new Access Policy later this year. This policy governs the way people access records and the manner the Registry distributes the information it holds. Specific to family historians, the new access policy will state that the restriction period for birth records will increase from 75 years to 100 years. Restriction periods surrounding death and marriage records will remain unchanged, 10 years and 60 years respectively. Changes to the policy are driven by a need to better protect personal information held by the Registry as well as bring the Victorian registry in line with national standards. Additionally, life expectancy has risen since the last access policy review and without an increase in the access period of birth records a growing portion of the Victorian community would be left exposed to identity related crimes. Further information and a release date of the new access policy will be made available
