Congratulatory Messages

Dr Jags, the Premier, the Prime Minister, the Governor-General, or HM The King will personally congratulate Riverton citizens who are commemorating a milestone birthday or anniversary. I'd be pleased to assist if you, a loved one, or a friend are celebrating an important occasion!

Eligible Occasions:

Australians can receive a message from the Prime Minister:

  • on every significant wedding anniversary on and after their 50th*
  • on every significant birthday on and after their 90th*

Australians can receive a message from the Governor-General:

  • on every significant wedding anniversary on and after their 50th*
  • on every significant birthday on and after their 100th*

Australians can receive a message from HM The King:

  • on every significant wedding anniversary on and after their 60th*
  • on every significant birthday on and after their 100th*

If you did not receive a message from HM The King for your 60th wedding anniversary or 100th birthday, you can request one for a subsequent occasion (ie: 61st wedding anniversary or 101st birthday). You do not have to wait until your 65th wedding anniversary or 105th birthday.

Arranging Celebratory Messages

You can make arrangements for anniversary messages up to two months before the celebration. You can request a belated message up to one month after the birthday or wedding anniversary has passed.

In order to process this request, please provide a copy of either the marriage or wedding certificate, or a statutory declaration stating the date of the occasion.

Please Contact Us well in advance we will get in touch with you to organise the necessary supporting evidence. Please be ready to provide us with a birth certificate, a marriage certificate or a statutory declaration.
