Please, I need your advice, I was refused a US visa in 2005 and 2007.

I legally changed my name completely and date of birth. I studied and live in Australia on a work permit, a pathway to permanent residence. I have traveled to Japan, Europe, and Canada.

Please kindly advise me on what to do if I want to apply for a B1/B2 US visa on holiday with my family.

You will have to disclose the previous US visa refusals in 2005 and 2007 on the DS-160 application for a B2 visa.  Also, you will have to include on the DS-160 any previous names that you have used in your life.  Changing your date of birth sounds very fishy and will likely lead to scrutiny of your application.  What is your country of birth?  You apply online, here is a link:

Why were you refused, which Consulate?

To be honest, changing your date of birth sounds real fishy.

 

As for changing names, you will have to declare any / all names, including your former name.

You will have to show the court papers to show they approved these changes 

and still you must list all former names used 

going to Australia on work permit with looking at living there permanently will also hurt as it shows you have immigrant intent to leave home country and reside elsewhere
