This distinguished medal group consists of the National Emergency Medal (NEM), the Defence Long Service Medal (DLSM), and the Australian Defence Medal (ADM), all professionally mounted for wear or display.
The National Emergency Medal is awarded to members of eligible organisations and other persons who rendered sustained or significant service during a nationally significant emergency. It recognises those who have made an outstanding contribution during events such as bushfires, floods, cyclones, and other national disasters.
The Defence Long Service Medal is awarded to members of the Australian Defence Force who have completed 15 years of efficient service. It recognises sustained commitment, dedication, and loyal service to the defence of Australia over an extended period.
The Australian Defence Medal (ADM) is awarded to Australian Defence Force personnel who have efficiently completed either an initial enlistment period or four years of service, whichever is the lesser. It recognises the commitment and contribution of ADF personnel, including Reserve members.
Together, these medals acknowledge a range of service commitments and contributions, from emergency response to long-term dedication to the Australian Defence Force. They are a fitting tribute to the dedication and sacrifice of our service men and women.
