You might be able to get a document witnessed and/or notarized at your local bank. They might charge a fee though.

(Many banks and financial institutions here in the US provide that service--I do not know if it's likewise in Australia.)

errr Notary Publics or Commissioner of Oaths will do... look for legal firms .... don't tell me you can't find legal firms in Melbourne.... they charge you for 5 mins of their time... can't be that much right?

What was the instructions actually?

To sign in front of a Embassy officer or to sign/swear/affirm with a notary public?

Documents are witnessed by Justice of the Peace (JP) in Australia which is the same as a notary public. The service is normally free of charge on a voluntary basis located in shopping malls etc at scheduled time. You can find a JP near you here http://www.rvahj.org.au/findjp.wtml

if you do not know what you're talking about, please do not show your idiocy and ignorance here?

the Singapore High Commission is in Canberra..

which is about.. say... 2,000km from Melbourne?

p.s. if you have to drive there from Melbourne it will take you the better part of 2 days, or if you want to fly there it will take a while and cost a lot too..
