How do I arrange a message?

You can arrange an anniversary message through the office of any Federal or State Member of Parliament.

You will need to provide supporting documentation such as original copies of birth certificates or marriage certificates.

If these are not available you can provide a statutory declaration. Statutory declaration forms are available at any post office or police station.

Who do I contact?

If you are applying for a message from the Premier of Victoria or the Governor of Victoria, click here to contact David.

For messages from the Prime Minister, Governor-General or The Queen, please contact your local federal member.

If you are applying for a message on behalf of a relative or friend who lives in another electorate, their local state or federal member would be the best place to start.

Where appropriate, your request will be passed on so you only have to make one application.

When should I make the request?

You can lodge a request for congratulatory messages up to three months before the celebration. You can also request a belated message up to one month after the birthday or wedding anniversary has passed.

Where will the message be delivered?

Congratulatory messages can be posted directly to the recipient’s home address or alternatively to care-of address (such as a friend or relative) for surprises.
