THE AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE MEDAL

Ex-serving personnel who have served for four years (or have completed a lesser initial enlistment period) either as an ADF Regular or Reserve member since the end of World War II (3 September 1945) are eligible for the medal.  National servicemen will also be eligible for the ADM, as the completion of their National Service obligation will be considered as completion of an initial enlistment period of service.  

For further information including application details please go to:  Honours & Awards and select ADM from the Current Issues list.
