# Registrable life events by financial year, Victoria

This is an independent republication. The publisher has not endorsed this site.

## Versions

publicdata.au keeps a new version each time the publisher changes the source file, and lists them all at https://publicdata.au/d/vic-registered-events-by-financial-year/versions.json. This repository tags each version it holds as `v<date>`, so `load_dataset("National-Digital/vic-registered-events-by-financial-year", revision="v2026-07-06")` always returns these rows.

## Query it without downloading

The publicdata.au query API filters and totals the newest version of this dataset and needs no key:
