Soldiers Medallion Badge

The badge for the Soldiers Medallion for Exemplary Service: Available in two sizes, full and miniature, this replica antiqued copper badge is 24mm diameter (full size) and 12mm diameter (miniature). The Soldiers Medallion Badge is a miniature of the Soldiers Medallion. The design is based on the two central figures of the Army Memorial with the wording ‘Exemplary Service — Australian Army.’ Soldiers of the rank of Corporal and below who have given exemplary service well above that expected of soldiers in the performance of their duties and have not been recognised by another award (for that service), are eligible for the award of the Soldiers Medallion.

The badge may be worn in perpetuity by entitled personnel.

Once awarded, the Soldiers Medallion Badge can be worn by all ranks. It is worn in the same manner as a commendation which is laid out in chapter 9, annex B of ASOD (Army Standing Orders for Dress). The Soldiers Medallion Badge is worn with Ceremonial Parade Dress, Ceremonial Dress, General Duty Dress, and Mess Dress White Shirt. The badge is not worn on DPCU (Disruptive Pattern Combat Uniform), Barracks Dress, sweaters/pullovers, working/protective dress, flying dress, overcoats or raincoats.
