The Defence Long Service Medal (DLSM) may be awarded to a member who has, on or after 14 February 1975, completed 15 years qualifying service in the ADF. This includes efficient service in Permanent and Reserve Forces. Clasps are awarded for each further periods of five years efficient service.

The regulations state that members are not entitled to have a Defence Force service award and the Defence Long Service Medal (DLSM) at the same time. The Defence Force service awards are: the Defence Force Service Medal, the Reserve Force Decoration and the Reserve Force Medal. Members wishing to have previously unrecognised service counted toward the DLSM are required to return the Defence Force service award before the DLSM is issued.

From 20 April 1999 the Defence Force Service Medal was replaced by the Defence Long Service Medal (DLSM).

The cost to mount the medal is $16.50. So for example this medal mounted with a clasp would be $41.50.
