On 2 November 2007 the CDF announced that the NATO Medal with clasp ‘ISAF’ had been formally accepted for wear by Australian Defence Force Personnel for their service in Afghanistan in support of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). Defence civilians working with ISAF are also eligible for the award.

The NATO Medal with clasp ‘ISAF’ is awarded for participation in NATO-led operations conducted in Afghanistan as part of Operation Slipper.

To qualify, ADF members need to complete 30 days force assigned service with Operation Slipper in the area of operations from 28 July 2006.

Aircrew force assigned to Operation Slipper need to complete 30 sorties, flown at the rate of one sortie per day, and flown from outside the area of operations.

Dual assignment to Operations Catalyst and Slipper does not count for eligibility unless the member has met the critieria and has served in Afghanistan with Operation Slipper.

The qualifying period is not required in the event of death in action, missing presumed killed in action or evacuation from the operational area in the event of injury while on duty with the operation.

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