If you have photos with the details of both bands, you can report it at this site and get details of when the bird was banded: https://www.awe.gov.au/science-research/bird-bat-banding/reporting-form
That's what I did with this swan sighting in April 2020: Cygnus atratus (Black Swan)

Thanks Matthew, I’ll look into it. I may have the details from the smaller silver band on the opposite leg. I figured that swans are common and fairly unremarkable sightings but if they’re banded then obviously someone is (or was) interested in their whereabouts.
