St John Ultra Long Service Extension Medal
The Service Medal of the Order is awarded to eligible persons who perform
Qualifying Service each year, properly recorded and certified, for a determined
number of years. Volunteers and staff who perform volunteer service on behalf
of the Order are eligible to receive the Service Medal of the Order.
Ultra Long Service Medal Extension
The Ultra Long Service (ULS) Medal Extension is intended to allow for continued
recognition of voluntary service beyond 50 years. It will be awarded after 50
years of qualifying service and will replace the silver Service Medal of the Order
and Laurel Leaf.
The ULS Medal Extension takes the form of the same medal as the Service
Medal, but finished in gold with a distinctive thin gold stripe through the centre
of the existing black and white ribbon to differentiate it from the silver Service
Medal.
The awarding of the ULS Medal Extension will replace the Service Medal after
50 years of qualified service and beyond and is not to be worn along with the
silver Service Medal. Any Active Member who currently has a silver Service
Medal with Laurel Leaf decoration will be issued a ULS Medal to replace the
Service Medal and will be entitled to receive a gold bar for each 5 years of
qualifying service thereafter.
