Australian Veteran Certificate of Appreciation

Certificates of Appreciation are available under the Australian Government’s Saluting Their Service Commemorations program. They are a way of expressing the nation’s gratitude to those who served in the defence forces or on the home front in World War II or in wars, conflicts and peace operations overseas since World War II.

They do not confer any eligibility for entitlements under the Veterans Entitlements Act 1986 or the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
