Is it rude to share a baby registry in Australia?

No, as long as the wording is optional and considerate. Share it when guests ask, or include a short line on shower details if the host is comfortable.

How do I ask for money or bigger gifts politely?

Make the purpose specific, such as nappies, meal support, a pram, or postpartum care, and phrase the support as optional rather than expected.

Should I send thank-you notes for baby registry gifts?

Yes. A short thank-you message that names the gift and how it will help is enough, especially during the busy newborn weeks.
