Design
The Ambulance Service Medal is a circular piece with hues of silver and bronze. The obverse showcases a Federation Star laid over a modified Maltese Cross, symbolising the essence of ambulance services. This design is set against a backdrop of Australian wattle.
Encircling the Federation Star are twenty-four spheres, representing the round-the-clock availability of the Ambulance Service to the community.
The ribbon, with a width of 32 millimetres, displays a series of chevrons or V-shaped patterns. These angles are inspired by the open end of the arm of the cross. The chevrons alternate in colours of red, white, red, and silver-grey.
