The King shares a long history with and affection for Australia, having previously made 15 official visits to our nation and having visited every state and territory.
During this visit, The King and Queen will travel to the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales.

In the official portraits, The King wears The Sovereign’s Badge of the Order of Australia, while The Queen wears the Wattle Brooch which was gifted to Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to Australia in 1954.
Australians can request printed versions of the portraits through their Federal Member of the House of Representatives or Senator in their state or territory.
