Victoria has passed a bill to allow gender diverse and transgender people to change the sex listed on their birth certificate without invasive surgery.

The birth certificate bill passed 26-14 in the Victorian Upper House on Tuesday night, with the reforms becoming law after receiving royal assent.

The minutes read, "Bill returned to the Assembly with a Message informing them that the Council have agreed to the Bill without amendment."

Victoria joins Tasmania, Northern Territory, South Australia and the ACT in passing the laws.

Tasmania was in April the first state to make the inclusion on birth certificates.
