Ambulance Service Medal

The Ambulance Service Medal is a distinguished award established to honour the exceptional service and dedication of both current and former members of ambulance services across Australia. Eligibility for this esteemed medal requires individuals to have:

• Demonstrated exceptional dedication and service in the provision of ambulance services, significantly contributing to the well-being of the community; or
• Made significant contributions to the advancement of ambulance practices, protocols, or community engagement, as determined by the relevant state or territory ambulance authority.

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.
