All nominations must be made via the above links with a written citation attached, and submitted to Royal Life Saving NSW|ACT|TAS, who will endorse the application before it is forwarded to the National Office for consideration.

 

A nomination can be made at any time, however the Australian Honours committee, meet twice a year and a call for nominations and made approximately one month prior to the meeting.

 

In considering candidates for these awards, the level and length of performance and the quality of the service rendered are the necessary and key components to be reviewed and considered before any Honour or Award may be granted.

 

Other criteria such as contributions, membership, council or committee involvement, etc. are important factors and these may play a role in determining the candidate’s eligibility and the level of the Honour awarded. 

 

It is expected that there will be a normal forward progression through the Volunteer Honours, therefore nominees meeting the criteria should be nominated for awards equal to, or higher than, the previous highest Honour earned. It is only in exceptional circumstances that a higher Honour will be awarded without the nominee having previously received a lower award in the Honour Sequence.
