Swing Mounted Medals Swing mounting is the traditional way to mount medals, the medals are sewn to an appropriate medal bar, and hang freely, because of the free movement of the medals a certain amount of damage can be expected over time, however this type of mounting enables the reverse of each medal to be viewed. |
|
Court Mounted Medals Court mounted medals were originally specified for personnel who had to attend the royal court, however this method of mounting is becoming increasingly popular, as they are quieter to wear and the medals are less likely to be damaged. Court mounted medals are sewn onto a stiffened backing, and the individual medals are sewn down to prevent them from moving, a medal suspension bar is attached to the back. |

Ribbon Bars Worn on day-to-day uniform in the Order of Precedence. For the Army or RAAF a row of ribbons has no more than four ribbons for a man and three for a woman. Royal Australian Navy personnel can choose to wear a maximum of four or three ribbons in the first row. Incomplete rows are worn centrally on top. |

Maintenance of Awards The dress code for the wearing of medals states that, Orders, decorations and medals are to be kept clean and in good repair. Ribbons must not be frayed or worn and devices are to be securely fastened. Medals are suspended from a medal bar suitable for the number of medals. When there are more than five medals they are to overlap so that they are evenly spaced on a five medal suspension, with the highest ranked award to be fully displayed. |
