Hi Gary.

If your father arrived 1969 there wont be much listed to search on the internet.

However,two options you could try is the" Ask a Librarian services" regarding recent Electorol rolls from 1960s upwards.They may be able to help regarding where he lived after arriving in Australia.
From memory........This may only apply if he became an Australian citizen by 1984.

or

Austalian White pages Directory are on-line.

Unfortunatley, Births, Deaths, and Marriages are only searchable by the general public up to certain years, and vary State by State.( Australian Privacy Laws )

NSW deaths up to 1975....Marriages up to 1956
See Family History
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/

Victoria deaths up to 1985.....marriages up to 1941.......and less for other states/territories

The Ryerson Index.......a contemporary death notices and obituaries in Australian newspapers may aso be helpful...if you think he may be deceased?..Death notices up to 2010
