Order of New Zealand

Some Commonwealth countries have their own Orders, which are awarded to their citizens and indicated in the same way as the British system.

The Queen's Service Order of New Zealand was established in 1975. The Order, of which The Queen is Sovereign, is divided into two parts, for Community Service and for Public Service:

QSO Companion of The Queen's Service Order, with precedence after OBE
QSM The Queen's Service Medal, with precedence after QGM and before BEM
