RSL Australia have recently released updated protocols for the wearing of Medals on Commemorative Occasions.

WEARING FAMILY MEDALS
It is a meaningful gesture to wear a family member’s medals to a commemorative event.

There are several key things to remember when wearing awards that are not yours:

• Wear family medals on the right side to indicate you are not the original recipient.

• You cannot wear relatives’ neck medals, unit citations, or association badges. These are personal to the individual who earned them.

• It’s respectful to wear one medal rack at one time. This ensures that the focus remains on the individual's service, rather than a display of multiple family honours.
