Does anyone know how to access the Australian electoral roll online?

Ancestry have selected years to 1980 if that helps?

After then you'd have to contact the relevant States Ask A Librarian service. They may, or may not, help. Laws on a persons privacy are far more strict than in the UK.

Have you tried the Australian White Pages? That's the online phone book. .whitepages.com.au

The 'National Library of Aus' (Canberra) (on-line) has the 'Ask a Librarian' service -they will check electoral rolls - past and present -for ALL States.

(Each State's own Library offers same excellent service - if not sure of which State -the 'National' covers ALL.)

Thanks everyone I'm looking for a relative who may have gone to Australia in 2001. I have tried white pages but as I don't have any idea which state there are too many. I will check the National library has that looks like the best option. Thanks so much

Excellent service! The National Library got back to me within 24 hours having checked the latest (2008) electoral roll for the whole country. Sadly no result for me but a great resource to know about :-)
