90 years of an Australian icon
We are excited to launch a colourful commemorative certificate to celebrate 90 years of Blinky Bill, the mischievous Koala beloved by all Australians.
Created by Dorothy Wall in 1933, the iconic character is featured in the bottom section of the certificate, dressed in red overalls next to his best friend and adopted sister, Nutsy. While Blinky’s mum, Mrs Koala, keeps a watchful eye over the pair.
Three new commemorative birth certificates featuring designs from Australian Author May Gibbs have also been released. These include Boronia Baby, Gumnut Baby and Flora and Fauna.
You have a choice to purchase:
- single commemorative birth certificate. Cost: $41
- package that includes an official birth certificate and a commemorative certificate. Cost only $87
Cost includes postage.
You can't order a commemorative certificate on its own for a new baby.
Our commemorative birth certificates are:
- suitable for framing at 279mm x 355mm (that's a bit bigger than A4 paper
- printed on archival paper and wrapped in acid-free tissue paper
- sent to you in a protective cardboard cylinder.
Commemorative certificates are keepsakes and not official proof of identity documents.
