If you or someone you know is celebrating a special birthday or wedding anniversary, the Redcliffe Electorate Office can help you request a letter of congratulations.

Request a letter from Kerri-Anne, the Premier of Queensland, the Prime Minister of Australia, or the King, can be requested to recognise certain milestones.  A Letter of Congratulations Request form, including eligibility criteria can be downloaded from the Queensland Government Congratulatory Letters website and can be returned to our office by email or regular post. Please remember to allow enough notice time (generally 4 – 6 weeks).

You can arrange a congratulatory message through the office of Kerri-Anne Dooley by calling the electorate office.

If you are applying for a message on behalf of a relative or friend who lives in another electorate, their local state member will be notified so they can also send a message.

You will need to provide supporting documentation such as a birth certificate or marriage certificate.

If these are not available, you can provide a statutory declaration.  These forms are available at any post office or from my office.

When should I arrange the message?

You can lodge a request for congratulatory messages up to two months before the celebration.
Where appropriate, your request to the Premier will be passed on to the Prime Minister, Governor-General and The King so you only have to make one application.

Where can congratulatory messages be sent?

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