Hi you should definitely check the www.citizenship.gov.au website.
The fact the child is born in Australia is NOT enough to prove citizenship. However, if the child was born before 1986 the child is automatically a Australian citizen and, through deed of parliament will be expected to support the Wallabies and have an opinion on which State of Origin Team to support and possibly which ARL team they will be permanently allied to. If the child was born after 1986 then as long as one of the parents is Australian (and in this case, you do say the mother is an Australian) then the child is Australian.
If the child was born between 1994-2001 to a NZ citizen then that chld would also be considered an Australian due to NZers status as holders of the special visa category.
BTW, after 2002 - an Australia was allowed to "actively apply for another country's citizenship" which means that the child can probably get a NZ or British passport too. And yes, they could, technically, be triple citizens if they wanted. (Australia, NZ, British).

Australian with the right to New Zealand citizenship from the father. There may be a right through the Grandparents to come to Britain, but with the present state of the country and 3 more years of Robber Brown I would not advise it.

If the mother is australian citizen and the child was born in australia = Australian.
If neither parent is Australian citizen but child born in australia, the child is NOT automatically australian.

The child is Austrialian as its born there.
It does not have a joint New Zealand citizenship as New Zealander's and Australians can travel to each others countries to live and work anyway without restrictions, its a right we have had and always had for years.

British nationality only passes from the father - a British mother married to a foreigner does not pass British nationality to her off-spring. This was introduced by Thatcher in the 1980s.

The child would take the 3 from her mother and father, it doesn't matter where you are born, its the nationality of the parents!
A lot of you have put where the baby is born, but its not!

The child will have all three nationalities or just one. My children are half-Italian and half English, but born in England. Their birth has been registered at my husband's home town in Sicily via the Italian Embassy. This entitles them to have either a British or an Italian passport or both so I should imagine if you child is registered in all three countries, they are nationals of all three. Our English marriage is also registered there as I understand because we were not married in church, if the civil wedding is not registered in Italy, we are not legally married there (open to correction with that one but I think that's what happened to my husband's aunt and uncle who were married in a registry office in the UK but had property in Italy).

The child is British. A child has the same nationality as its mother, no matter where it is born- you always know who the mother is, but not always the father.
But do one or both parents have permanent residency, or a dual citizenship?

Depends which country the child was born in.
