Description

The Fire and Rescue New Southe Wales (FRNSW) Long Service and Good Conduct Medal is a prestigious honour designed to recognise the diligent long service and good conduct of members within the FRNSW organisation. This medal serves as a lasting tribute to the dedication and professionalism of those who have committed themselves to serving their community.

To be eligible for this esteemed award, you must have:

  • Ten years of eligible service within FRNSW.
  • Maintained a level of training and skill sufficient to fulfil your duties.
  • Served diligently throughout your tenure.
  • Maintained a satisfactory service record.

Clasps are awarded for each additional 10 years of eligible service. These are recognised by a bar, 5 mm wide, inscribed with crossed axes, helmet, and torch. The positioning of the clasps on the ribbon is meticulously detailed, ensuring the honour is displayed with the utmost respect and dignity.

Design

The medal is a circular design in oxidised silver, 38 mm in diameter, ensigning a circa 1884 firefighters helmet and crossed axes in oxidised silver. The front of the medal features the Fire and Rescue NSW logo within a rim carrying the inscription "Fire and Rescue New South Wales". The reverse side is inscribed with "Awarded to" and the recipient’s name within a rim carrying the inscription "Long Service and Good Conduct Medal".

The medal is suspended from a suspension bar, which is an integral part of the medal. The ribbon is 32 mm wide, red, with two black stripes 9 mm wide and 5 mm from each outer edge. A miniature of the medal, a half-sized replica, is also available and is suspended from a miniature ribbon 16 mm wide.

 

Unmounted Medals

If you order your medal unmounted, the medal and ribbon will be supplied as separate components. Miniature medals will be supplied with 15cm of ribbon and full size medals will be supplied with 30cm of ribbon.

FRNSW Long Service and Good Conduct Medal Full Size Court Mounted

The court mounting of medals involves securing medals to a stiff backing board, along with the placement of a brooch fitting on the board. This ensures that the medals remain firmly in place and do not shift or move about while being worn.

It is mandatory for active members of the Australian Defence Force to have their medals court mounted, as it is considered the appropriate method of presenting military honours in a professional and respectful manner. By doing so, the medals are given proper recognition and are displayed in a neat and organized fashion.

This mounting style was commonly used for medals from the Boer War up to and including World War II, although there are no fixed guidelines or regulations regarding its use.

These ribbons are arranged in a specific order and are attached to a backing, which is then attached to the uniform. Ribbon bars are a compact and convenient way for military personnel to display their achievements and are often used in situations where a full-sized medal or award would be impractical.
