Application for former employees

Living former members* who meet the eligibility criteria as outlined in this information sheet may apply in writing to the Honours and Awards Unit, by completing the application form to the effect that their service was diligent and ethical and of sufficient duration to meet the criteria.

Applications for the QPSM can also be made on behalf of the former member by a current serving QPS member or, for a former sworn officer, by the State Management Committee of the Queensland Retired Police Association or by a family member (in all cases where the applicant is not reasonably able to complete the application form).

Where an application is made on behalf of a former member, a covering letter with the application form outlining that the nominee is not reasonably able to complete the application form is to be provided by the person nominating the former member.

A copy of the certificate of separation/service must be attached, where issued and available.

_{*Living former members include age retirees, medical retirees and members who resigned, but does not include members who have separated from the service with unfinalised investigations of a serious nature into their conduct.}
