replies: text: That's explained in Victoria Cross for Australia#History. To cut a short story shorter, the VCs awarded to Australians prior to 1991 were the British VC. In 1991 the separate VC for Australia was established. Nick-D (talk) 07:49, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I just noticed that the article has not yet been updated in regards to the finalised Defence Honours and Awards Tribunal's "Inquiry into unresolved recognition for past acts of naval and military gallantry and valour". The report was finalised and submitted to Government on 6 February 2013, recommending that no retrospective awards be made (among other things). See here. I don't really have the time at the moment to update the article, but will do so tomorrow if someone hasn't beaten me to it. :) Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 11:57, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

message: First line of the third paragraph includes subject to review by the Defence Honours and Awards Appeal Tribunal'. Could someone elaborate and include a reference?.
The date 12 August 2020 is mentioned four times. It suggests that it is the date approved and/or awarded but the reference, a media release from the Prime Minister dated 12 August 2020 does not indicate when the Queens approved the award.
I think the tradition of the British Victoria Cross should be followed by the VCfA and the date of the gazette should be noted. Anthony Staunton (talk) 01:24, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
