Defence Force Service Medal

The Defence Force Service Medal (DFSM) is a cupro-nickel circular chamfered medal. The obverse has the Joint Service Emblem. The reverse is inscribed 'FOR EFFICIENT SERVICE IN THE PERMANENT FORCES' around the circumference.

The Ribbon

The DFSM ribbon has three equal stripes of gold and azure-blue edged with azure-blue. The colours were the national colours of Australia at the time of introduction.

Clasps

The DFSM clasp is a cupro-nickel bar with the Royal Cypher flanked by sprigs of wattle in the centre. When the ribbon is worn alone a clasp is indicated by the addition of a cupro-nickel round rosette, or a silver miniature Federation Star.

Post Nominals

There is no entitlement to postnominal letters for recipients of the Defence Force Service Medal.
