GOVERNOR-GENERAL Quentin Bryce has sent Australia's heartfelt congratulations to the royal family on the birth of the new prince.
The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a baby boy overnight, Australian time.
Prince William was present for the arrival of his son, who is third in line to the British throne.
"The birth of a baby is an experience to celebrate and cherish," Ms Bryce said in a statement.
"On behalf of all Australians, I send heartfelt congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on this joyful occasion.
"We wish the new parents every happiness and send warm greetings of welcome to the little prince."
The Australian Republican Movement also sent its best wishes to the people of the United Kingdom on the birth of "their future monarch".
"We look forward to a future day when an Australian Head of State can stand beside the British monarch as friends and equals, cheering for our team just as the British Head of State cheers for the British team, in friendly rivalry," national director David Morris said.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says all Australians will share the royal family's joy.
Mr Rudd says it's a happy day for the nation's close friends in Britain and across the Commonwealth.
"On behalf of all Australians, Therese and I extend our warmest regards to the new parents, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge," he said in a statement.
"We share in the joy of the royal family, particularly Prince Charles, on the birth of his grandson and Queen Elizabeth II on the birth of her great-grandchild."
Mr Rudd said Prince William held a special place in the hearts of many Australians given his first visit down under as a baby himself.
"In more recent times, Prince William demonstrated deep compassion when he met with families in Victoria who had lost everything during the Black Saturday bushfires of February 2009," Mr Rudd said.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's son would be the happiest day of their lives.
He and wife Margie sent their congratulations and best wishes to the royal couple.
The long-time monarchist expects all Australians would share their joy in the birth of the new prince.
"While there will come a time to contemplate the constitutional duties that await the young prince, today we simply welcome a baby boy into the world and share the joy of this young family," Mr Abbott said in a statement.
"I am sure that over the course of his life, the prince will, like the rest of his family, develop a deep affection for our country, as we already have for him."
