The Australia Service Medal 1939-1945 recognises service by Australia's military forces, Mercantile Marine and Volunteer Defence Corps during the Second World War. Created in 1949, the medal was initially awarded to those who served at home or overseas for at least 18 months full-time service, or three years part-time service, between 3rd September 1939 and 2nd September 1945. Members of the Australian Mercantile Marine must have served the qualifying time at sea. On 16th August 1996, the qualifying period was reduced to 30 days for full-time service and 90 days for part-time service. Volunteer Defence Corps members must have served a minimum of three years to qualify. To be eligible for the medal a serviceman or woman must have been honourably discharged from the Australian Defence Forces. Approximately 600,000 medals were issued.

The Medal is circular nickel-silver, 36 millimetres (1.4 in) in diameter. The obverse bears the crowned effigy of King George VI. The reverse of the medal shows the Commonwealth Coat of Arms surrounded by the words 'THE AUSTRALIA SERVICE MEDAL 1939-1945'. The ribbon has a wide khaki central stripe, flanked by two narrow red stripes, which are in turn flanked by two outer stripes, one of dark blue the other of light blue. The khaki represents the Australian Army, and the red, dark blue and light blue represent the Merchant Navy, Royal Australian Navy and the Royal Australian Air Force respectively. Medals were awarded with the recipient's name impressed on the rim. No accompanying Clasp was issued.
