Congratulations to those receiving an ASFM in this year’s Kings Birthday honors

Meritorious awards recognise outstanding and distinguished service by public servants, members of an Australian police force, fire, ambulance, corrections, intelligence or emergency service, or in support of outstanding work with an Australian Antarctic expedition.

The awards were created to recognise those occupations that provide services for the community, particularly in times of emergency or disaster. Historically, most nominees are people whose current service is inherently more hazardous than most other occupations. These awards recognise individuals who have performed service at a level above that which would be expected of someone in their position, or have made significant achievements.

Consistent with the intent of the various meritorious award Regulations, people who recently worked on the frontline with prolonged exposure to hazard in the service of the community, and who are now using their frontline experience to support others on the frontline, may be eligible for a meritorious award.

Awarded the Australian Fire Service Medal (AFSM)
