My amazing colleague is looking for a family member and I'm helping a little....

All we know are his name and date of birth. He left the UK in about 1984, Possibly in Adelaide or Sydney.

So random, but does anyone have any suggestions of how to track someone down in Aus please?

If he lived in Perth I would either know him or know someone who did. 2 degrees of separation in this backwater.
Sorry, not really very helpful was it smile
If he's moved to Perth then we'll give you a shout! You never know!

You used to be able to look up electoral roles, or if it is an odd name you could go to www.whitepages.com.au
His name is so common unfortunately, but I've been geeking out looking for traces.

One of the welfare groups have a missing person assistance outfit. I think it is the Salvation Army. Give them a try.

Who ever it is used to have a weekly session on ABC radio in Brisbane at least, reporting on their successful efforts, & families they had reunited. Try ABC radio for any info.

The Red Cross might be able to help, or put you onto an agency that can.
You are right! The Saly Army are looking for him too, they don't do as many but they have taken my friends case on. Keeping everything crossed!

He might be working at a casino, just hoping he's OK at the point though
