Go here http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/fact-sheets/fs30.aspx

Scroll down to 'Microfilmed employment records - Australian Merchant Seamen' and click on the link

Next page you will see 'Items in this series on RecordSearch' - click on the '100' link and you will see that they are indexed in groups of names.

If you submit a request they will look for a record for you and if they find one will let you know the cost of having the record digitised.

The form is here:
