==Information==
European explorers began arriving in what is now Australia in the 17th century. In 1770, Great Britain claimed Australia as a territory. The "First Fleet" of European settlers arrived in 1788 with ships of [http://firstfleet.uow.edu.au/search.html convicts]. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. English is the official language.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Australia," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia, accessed 23 March 2016.</ref>

==Jurisdictions==
===States===
After federation many governmental functions whose records are of interest to family historians remained the responsibility of the States. For example, the registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages is a State function; the Commonwealth was only responsible for these functions in the territories until the territory achieved responsible self-government.
