The Queen's Commendation for Bravery: Generally awarded for brave conduct; a spray of laurel leaves in silver. For the award of a Mention in Despatches (MID) and King's (or later Queen's) Commendations until 1920 was bronze and worn on the riband of the Victory Medal. The Commendations are awarded to mark specific acts of gallantry. The awards were discontinued in Australia in 1982 and replaced by an equivalent award in the Australian Honours System.

Queen's (King's) Commendation for Brave Conduct:
Instituted in 1939 by King George VI to acknowledge brave acts by civilians and members of the military in non-warlike circumstances during a time of war or in peacetime where the action would not otherwise be recognised by an existing award. In 1954 it became the Queen's Commendation for Brave Conduct. There is no ribbon, but the award was evidenced by a certificate and in the first stages, by a gold and red coloured badge bearing the design of a sword in a wreath, surmounted by a crown. The badge was replaced at a later stage by another badge - in the form a silver oak leaf for civilians and a bronze oak leaf for the military - the leaves being attached to the ribbon of the War Medal or Defence Medal if held by the recipient. The Commendation has been awarded to 405 Australians including 286 civilians. The award was discontinued for Australians in 1982 and is effectively replaced by the Commendation for Brave Conduct in the Australian Bravery Decorations.

Queen's (King's) Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air:
Instituted in 1939 by King George VI and continued to 1994 when replaced by the Queen's Commendation for Bravery in the Air. Awarded for 'gallantry or for meritorious service while in the air on the part of civilians or members of the military forces, whether in war or peace where the action did not merit the award of the Air Force Cross or Air Force Medal'. There is no entitlement to a post-nominal and there is no specific ribbon for the award. The award is worn on the uniform in the form of a silver badge below any medal ribbons held
