Australian Antarctic Medal

The Australian Antarctic Medal (AAM) is awarded for outstanding service in scientific research or exploration in connection with an Australian Antarctic expedition or for support of such work. The service or support would normally be for a period of at least 12 months. The AAM was introduced in 1987, and replaced the Imperial award of the Polar Medal. Announcements of the award are made on 21 June in a special Midwinter’s Day honours list.
