Congratulatory messages

Congratulatory messages are available through the Department of Premier and Cabinet for persons celebrating their 90th and 100th birthdays and Golden (50 years) and Diamond (60 years) Wedding Anniversaries.

Forms are available from Peter’s office. A copy of the birth or marriage certificate is required. If the person notifying of the celebration is unable to obtain either of these certificates the completion of a Statutory Declaration will be necessary.

A period of at least two weeks notice prior to the celebration would be appreciated to allow the congratulatory messages to be received on the celebration date. Requests received later than six weeks after the event will not be actioned.

The Protocol and Special Events Branch (PSE) is responsible for arranging messages from the Premier. Notification is also given to the following: -
The Prime Minister - 90th /100th Birthdays, Golden and Diamond Anniversaries
The Governor of Victoria - 100th Birthdays, Golden and Diamond Anniversaries
The Governor General (includes notification to the Queen) - 100th Birthdays and Diamond Anniversaries
