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?

Okay so I need 3 cards, 2 of which I have as digital copies and these documents must all be certified.

How do I get them to certify the digital copy of my cards? Does someone have to stamp my phone screen and I take a photo of my phone?

This whole process is so ridiculously complex when I can login to my MyGov or Services Vic and interact with all sorts of services without hassle.

IIRC print them out and get them signed by a justice of the peace, police officer, or post office worker or some such.

Check the requirements with the intended institution they tend to differ sadly. :(
