Australian Honours and Awards

Even with the implementation of the Order of Australia and the other Australian awards, persons holding existing honours bestowed under the British based system retained their ranking within the Australian Order of Precedence of Honours and Awards as published in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette.
 

The system awards service medals for those who have given fifteen years service in the Defence Forces, Police, Fire, Ambulance, Australian Protective Service, correctional services and/or the State Emergency Service.
 

These Australian awards have varied over time and have also taken into consideration the conflicts and peace keeping and monitoring missions in which Australians have found themselves.

If you know what the award looks like but do not know what it is, go to the pick n click page.

Please utilise the following list for further information on each area of award.

If you are interested in an Australian award that is not listed in these pages please contact me and I shall endeavour to include it in my next upgrade of the site.
