Honours and awards for Territorians

The Australian honours system recognises the exceptional contributors and quiet achievers in our community, and celebrates the remarkable achievements of Territorians and people across the nation.

It includes:

  • the Order of Australia
  • Australian Bravery Decorations
  • National Emergency Medal
  • Meritorious Service Awards.

One of the Meritorious Service Awards is the Public Service Medal, which is awarded to Australian public servants for outstanding service. Download and complete a nomination form at Public Service Medal - nomination form & nomination guide
