Collection: State Award Ribbons

The Australian states and territories have instituted a range of awards to recognise service and achievement of members of state and territory organisations. These include long service and bravery awards for police, ambulance, emergency service and corrective service personnel. These awards are not included in the Australian system and are not to be worn with official awards on ADF uniform.

The administration of these awards is the sole responsibility of the respective states and territories. If you have any questions on these awards, you should contact the protocol branches of the states and territories. DH&A has no authority or responsibility in administering these awards
