There is less than one month left to nominate outstanding CFA people for an Australian Fire Services Medal (AFSM) as part of the 2019 Queen’s Birthday Honours.
Retired Regional Commander Mark Gilmore receives his AFSM from the Governor of Victoria Linda Dessau AC
It’s a prestigious honour. Only 28 CFA people have received an AFSM in the past three years, and this is your chance to nominate someone you feel should be added to the list.
The AFSM is awarded for distinguished service to fire services across Australia. Only one award is presented to an individual, and recipients are entitled to use the post-nominal letters AFSM. Medals are awarded biannually in the Australia Day and the Queen’s Birthday Honours lists.
The AFSM is awarded by the Governor of Victoria at a dedicated ceremony at Government House in Melbourne.
To nominate someone you know visit the CFA Awards website.
CFA nominations close 1 November2018.
