The Defence Honours and Awards Appeals Tribunal is an independent statutory body established under the Defence Act to consider Defence honours and awards matters.
Individuals are able to apply to the Tribunal for an independent review of a decision of the Department of Defence regarding eligibility for a defence honour, defence award or a foreign award.
The Government is also able to refer general eligibility issues to the Tribunal for inquiry and recommendation.
Due to limitations associated with the size of venues, prior registration with the Tribunal Secretariat is necessary in order to attend public hearings of the Tribunal.
