This bill changes the law about military decorations and badges. It updates how these awards are managed and who can receive them. This means the rules for recognising military service will be clearer and more up-to-date for current and future service members.
This bill is open for public submissions to the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee. Anyone can tell the committee what they think, and you don’t need to be an expert. Submissions close 13 May 2026.
