The Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) – Military Division is awarded to senior officers of the Australian Defence Force for eminent achievement and merit of the highest degree in military service. It recognises exceptional leadership, strategic command, and significant national impact.
The insignia is a gold, convex disc shaped like a stylised wattle blossom, with radiating golden petals and clusters. At the centre is a blue enamel ring inscribed with the word “AUSTRALIA”, surrounding a smaller gold disc with a wattle motif. The insignia is topped by the Crown of St Edward. Replicas are marked with the word “COPY”.
The ribbon is royal blue with a yellow edge and repeating wattle blossom patterns. The yellow edge and device indicate a military award and distinguish it from the civil version.
The AC – Military Division symbolises Australia’s highest honour for military excellence. It reflects outstanding service in command, strategic leadership, and national defence at the highest level.
