GALLANTRY DECORATIONS

DETERMINATIONS

I, PHILIP MICHAEL JEFFERY, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, acting under regulations 10 and 11 of the Gallantry Decorations Regulations, revoke the Gallantry Decorations Determination made on the sixteenth day of December 1993 and determine as follows:

   THE STAR OF GALLANTRY

   Design

   1. The Star of Gallantry is a gold-plated silver Federation Star, ensigned with the Crown of Saint Edward in gold-plated silver. Each axis of the star measures 37 millimetres. The star is surmounted by a gold-plated suspender bar of fixed configuration, with the raised words 'FOR GALLANTRY' running the width of the bar on the obverse. The obverse of the star bears a superimposed central device of a smaller Federation Star with each axis measuring 22 millimetres. The reverse of the star bears a central horizontal panel 25 millimetres across and 9 millimetres high to allow for engraving of the recipient's name. This central panel is superimposed on a stepped background.

   Miniature

   2. The miniature of the Star of Gallantry is a half size replica of the star suspended from a miniature ribbon 16 millimetres wide.

   Ribbon

   3. The ribbon for the Star of Gallantry is 32 millimetres wide and has a design of chevrons of deep orange 3.25 millimetres wide alternating with chevrons of light orange 1.75 millimetres angled at 60 degrees. The ribbon should have the chevron pattern placed as a stylised 'A' with the points facing upwards when viewed with the obverse apparent. The apex of a deep orange chevron should coincide with the top of the ribbon when mounted for wearing.

   Ribbon Bar

   4. The ribbon bar of the Star of Gallantry consists of a strip of full size ribbon, 32 millimetres wide and 10 millimetres deep, with no emblem.

   Further Awards

   5. Second and subsequent awards of the Star of Gallantry are recognised by the presentation of a gold-plated silver bar 35 millimetres wide and 6 millimetres high. The bar has a superimposed central replica of the Federation Star 6 millimetres in diameter on a horizontal row of flames 32 millimetres wide. The bar is worn attached to the ribbon of the original star. A half size replica of the bar is worn on the ribbon of the miniature star. A ribbon bar emblem in the form of a Federation Star of gold‑plated silver 9 millimetres in diameter is worn on the ribbon bar.

   Lapel Badge

   6. The lapel badge of the Star of Gallantry is a replica of the star 10 millimetres in diameter.

   Wearing

   7. The Star of Gallantry is worn on the left breast whenever full size orders, decorations and medals are worn. The miniature star is worn whenever miniatures of orders, decoration and medals are
