The Governor-General of Australia publishes the order of wearing of Australian orders, decorations and medals in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette. The Order of Wearing Australian Honours and Awards was last published in 2007.[1]

Order of wearing

The order of wearing decorations and awards within the Australian honours system is prescribed as follows.[2]

Honours and awards listed are:

  • those within the Australian system of honours and awards;
  • those conferred by the Sovereign in exercise of the royal prerogative;
  • those within the Order of St John; and
  • foreign awards the acceptance and wearing of which have been authorised by the Governor-General.

Awards of the United Kingdom issued since 5 October 1992 are classified as foreign and are worn accordingly.[3]
