Eligibility based on service during the First World War is designed to recognise those who enlisted or were appointed for service outside Australia. In general, a person who served between 4 August 1914 and 31 August 1921 inclusive, who was a member of the Naval, Military or Air Forces of Australia (or any nursing service maintained in connection with these Forces), and who enlisted or was appointed for active service outside Australia is an eligible person.
The following may be included as an eligible person under certain circumstances:
A person with otherwise appropriate service may be ineligible if that service ended due to misconduct or misbehaviour (please see Eligibility GO 11 for full details). However, this exclusion does not apply to the widow, widower or dependent parent of a person whose service ended due to misconduct or misbehaviour.
