The orders, decorations, and medals of Ameristralia are a system of awards and honours to celebrate the actions and deeds of citizens, military members, and foreign dignitaries for their service to Ameristralian society and the municipality as a whole.
The ''Act to Establish Ameristralian Honours for Citizens, Military and Foreign Dignitaries - Contributory Factors, Eligibility, Requirements, Categories, and Rites 2021, more commonly called the Ameristralian Honours Act of 2021 was signed on 28 August 2021.
It officially formalised Municipal awards and established the Lord Mayor as the fount of honours.
- Honours are used as meritorious recognition for achievement and service;
- Decorations are often utilised to recognise specific actions or deeds;
- Medals are used as recognition of service in a specific operation, theatre, long and valuable service, and good conduct. They may also commemorate special events.
The Lord Mayor, currently David Brooke is regarded as the fons honorum.
Chivalric orders
There are three dynastic orders and two municipal orders granted by the Lord Mayor. The current system designates the monarch or Lord Mayor as the Sovereign of all orders, decorations, and medals. The Lord Mayor may appoint the second head of each order at their pleasure. Ribbons have been designed by Varuna Sriraya and David Brooke.
