Goldstein residents celebrating a special birthday or wedding anniversary can receive a personal message of congratulations from Tim, the Prime Minister, the Governor-General, and His Majesty The King.

These commemorative messages are a meaningful way to recognise important milestones and celebrate with loved ones.

In order to arrange a congratulatory message, please email us at [email protected].

Wedding Anniversaries

Goldstein residents can receive a message from:

  • Hon Tim Wilson MP, the Pime Minister and the Governor-General on your 50th wedding anniversary and every year after.
  • The King on your 60th wedding anniversary, and every fifth year after (e.g. 65th, 70th, etc.).

Birthdays

Goldstein residents can receive a message from:

  • Hon Tim Wilson MP and the Prime Minister on your 90th birthday and every year after
  • The Governor-General on your 100th birthday and every year after.
  • The King on your 100th birthday, and every fifth year after (e.g. 105th, 110th, etc.).

 

Arranging a Message

You can request an anniversary or birthday message at least two months before the celebration.

Belated Messages

Belated messages can also be arranged up to six months after the birthday or anniversary has passed.

If you missed out on a message from The King for a 60th wedding anniversary or 100th birthday, you may request one at the next opportunity (e.g. your 61st anniversary or 101st birthday). Following that, the next eligible milestone will be your 65th wedding anniversary or 105th birthday.
