Recognition of outstanding achievement and service Order of Australia: nominations and awards
There are four award levels to the Order of Australia (Military Division). They are the Companion (AC), Officer (AO), Member (AM) and Medal (OAM) of the Order (see Table 6.9). In 2015, 6% of female recipients and 10% of male recipients received a higher level Order (AC or AO). Between 2001 and 2015, the proportion of women receiving a higher level Order rarely equalled or exceeded the proportion of men. Between 2001 and 2015 there were no women awarded an AC or AO in the Military Division. Two women (4.9%) were awarded an AM or OAM in this division in 2015 (see Table 6.9).
