The Bravery Medal (BM) is a bravery decoration awarded to Australians.[1] It is awarded for acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances.[1] The BM was created in February 1975.[1] The decorations recognise acts of bravery by members of the community. They selflessly put themselves in jeopardy to protect the lives or property of others. It is ranked third of the Australian bravery decorations in the Australian Honours System. Recipients of the Bravery Medal are entitled to use the post-nominal letters "BM".[1]
