The Conspicuous Service Cross (CSC) is a prestigious award given to Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel who have demonstrated outstanding devotion to duty, leadership, or service in a position of responsibility. The CSC recognizes individuals who have displayed exemplary conduct, outstanding professionalism, and sustained commitment in their duties, which have made a significant contribution to the ADF or the broader Australian community.
Eligibilty
The CSC is awarded to ADF members who have shown conspicuous devotion to duty or outstanding leadership qualities that have had a significant impact on their unit, organization, or the ADF as a whole. The award is also given to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the Australian community or international relations through their service in non-warlike situations.
Design
The CSC features a midified silver Maltese cross, which depicts the Southern Cross surrounded by a laurel wreath. The reverse has a nameplate, typically engraved with the recipient's details. Copies are engraved with "Replica".
Ribbon
The accompanying ribbon has alternating stripes of dark green and sand-gold, running diagonally from the top left to bottom right of the ribbon.
Lapel Pin
The CSC is represented in day to day use by a small pin worn on the lapel. Purchase a replica pin here: CSC Lapel.
The CSC is a highly respected award that recognizes the exceptional service and dedication of ADF personnel. It is awarded by the Governor-General on the recommendation of the Minister for Defence. Recipients receive a citation that outlines the specific actions or contributions that led to the award. The CSC is a symbol of the Australian Defence Force's appreciation for the outstanding service and devotion to duty of its members.
SPECIFICATIONS:Every replica medal can be supplied loose or mounted ready to wear. Here's how the options differ, so you can choose the right one.
The medals are fixed to a stiff backing board so they sit flat and stay in line while worn. It's the neatest presentation, and serving members of the Australian Defence Force are required to wear their medals court mounted.
Each medal hangs freely from its ribbon below a top bar. This was the usual style from the Boer War through to World War II, and there are no fixed rules about who can wear it.
Just the ribbons, mounted in order of precedence on a small bar. Ribbon bars are worn on uniform day to day, when full medals would be impractical.
The medal and ribbon come as separate parts, ready for you or your mounter to assemble. Full size medals come with 30cm of ribbon and miniatures with 15cm.
Miniatures are mounted the same way at a smaller scale. They're worn at evening and formal events, generally anything after 6pm such as dinners, where full size medals would be impractical.
Every style comes with a traditional pin or a magnetic fitting. Magnetic mounts hold firmly without putting holes in your jacket or uniform, and are easier to put on and take off, which helps anyone with limited dexterity.
