Description

The Nursing Service Cross is a prestigious award established to recognise the exceptional service and dedication of both current and former members of the nursing profession in Australia. Eligibility for this esteemed medal requires individuals to have:

  • Demonstrated exceptional commitment to patient care, significantly contributing to the well-being of the community; or
  • Made significant contributions to the advancement of nursing practices, protocols, or community engagement, as determined by the relevant state or territory nursing authority.

Design

The Nursing Service Cross is a straight-armed cross fashioned from sterling silver, featuring four stepped arms. The obverse displays transparent red enamel crosses on each of its axes, set against a backdrop of a speckled pattern that emanates from the medal's centre.

The accompanying ribbon showcases a central vertical stripe in red, bordered by two white stripes and edged with gold stripes.

Unmounted Medals

If you order your medal unmounted, the medal and ribbon will be supplied as separate components. Miniature medals will be supplied with 15cm of ribbon and full size medals will be supplied with 30cm of ribbon.

Nursing Service Cross Full Size Court Mounted

The court mounting of medals involves securing medals to a stiff backing board, along with the placement of a brooch fitting on the board. This ensures that the medals remain firmly in place and do not shift or move about while being worn.

It is mandatory for active members of the Australian Defence Force to have their medals court mounted, as it is considered the appropriate method of presenting military honours in a professional and respectful manner. By doing so, the medals are given proper recognition and are displayed in a neat and organized fashion.
