PREMIER MEDALS
"Your Awards, Our Honour"
WHY CHOOSE PREMIER MEDALS?
Your medals represent a legacy of service. Whether they belong to you or a loved one, the team at Premier Medals handles, mounts, and returns them with the profound respect they deserve.
The Premier Medals Standard:
100% Regulation Compliant: Mounted strictly to current Defence and Emergency Service dress regulations. No exceptions.
Damage-Free Mounting: Medals are hand-sewn to a rigid 2mm Perspex backing. We use zero glues or liquid adhesives on your medals.
Premium Materials: Built with full 25cm ribbon lengths secured using archival, acid-free tape to prevent yellowing or degradation.
Hand-Stitched Detailing: All clasps are expertly hand-sewn to the ribbon for a secure, flawless presentation.
The Premier Medal difference
We build our medal racks to a higher standard, starting with a precision laser-cut 2mm Perspex backing.
While other companies rely on hot glue, weak adhesives, or stitching to attach their pins, we use a superior structural design. Our extended clutch-style pins are laser-cut and countersunk from the reverse side (as pictured below).
The pin must literally be pulled through the Perspex to separate from the group, delivering the most secure attachment on the market.
Please note that we only provide traditional long "Brooch Pins" upon direct request; they make the rack difficult to mount straight and can easily bend, snag, or damage your suit jacket or shirt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
If your question isnt here, simply message us via the 'Contact Us' option below.
While we are proudly based in Brisbane, Queensland, we mount and restore medals for military, police, and emergency service personnel all over Australia.
We don't cut corners to save time or money. Your awards are treated with the respect they deserve, featuring:
No Glues: We never use hot glue, staples, or liquid adhesives directly on the medals themselves. Every medal and clasp is securely hand-sewn to the backing board in accordance with Commonwealth and State requirements.
Ultra-Rigid Backing: We mount exclusively onto high-grade 2mm laser-cut Perspex backings—never cardboard or corflute.
Full Ribbon Lengths: We use a full 25cm length of quality ribbon for every individual medal. This maximizes the security of the medal compared to companies that use small ribbon scraps to save a few dollars.
Archival Materials: We use only acid-free adhesives to secure the ribbons to the backing, ensuring no "bleeding", staining, or yellowing occurs over time.
Australia-wide delivery is handled via Australia Post with tracking, offering Standard Post for $13, Express Post for $17, and optional Signature on Delivery for an extra $3.
Because we handle high-value and sentimental items, our workshop is a private facility, and we do not offer collections or drop-offs (unless exceptional circumstances exist).
Package your medals securely in a padded satchel and mail them to our secure postal address at PO Box 3550, Mount Ommaney, QLD 4074. We will let you know when they are safely in our possession.
Arranging military and civil honours isn't a matter of personal choice; it must strictly mirror the official Governor-General’s Australian Order of Wearing. The sequence prioritises top-tier gallantry or bravery decorations on the far left (as viewed by someone looking at you), cascading down through campaign awards, operational service medals, and long service medals. We cross-reference every set against current guidelines to ensure absolute compliance.
Honouring a veteran relative by wearing their medals on Anzac Day or Remembrance Day is a proud tradition. However, to clearly signify that you are custodian of the legacy rather than the original recipient, protocol requires that you pin them on the right-hand side of your chest. Only your personally awarded honours are worn on the left.
This depends entirely on the size of your group. Generally, a row can accommodate up to 5 full-size medals positioned side-by-side without overlapping. For collections of 6 or more, official dress manuals dictate that the medals must progressively overlap (layer over one another) so the entire rack fits comfortably and neatly across your chest.
Because original medals are irreplaceable and highly vulnerable to weather damage, loss, or theft during public events, many serving members and families choose to archive their original awards safely at home. They then commission us to build a premium, court-mounted replica set for parade wear. We can safely mount your originals, supply pristine replicas, or combine the two into a single set.
Yes, we specialize in medal remounts. We will meticulously disassemble your existing rack, gently clean the medals, and rebuild the entire group from the ground up using fresh, regulation-length ribbons to seamlessly blend your new award or service clasp into the correct position.
Because every medal group features a highly specific combination of ribbons, clasps, backing dimensions, and unique service rules, we do not provide binding quotes over the phone or in social media comments. To protect the accuracy of your order, all requests are processed through our online Contact Form. This logs your exact specifications into our workshop queue so no detail is overlooked.
Yes. The months leading up to Anzac Day (April 25th) and Remembrance Day (November 11th) see an incredibly high volume of requests. To guarantee that every piece of work is delivered safely and without rush before your parade, we implement strict booking cutoff dates prior to these dates. We highly recommend booking your set in early to guarantee your spot.
