The Royal Humane Society of Australasia

The Royal Humane Society of Australasia, located in Kew, Victoria, was established following a letter by Mr. John Wilks in 1873, highlighting the bravery displayed during the wreck of the Pilot Schooner Rip. Formally inaugurated in 1874 as the Victorian Humane Society, it recognizes acts of valor through various awards, including the prestigious Clarke Gold and Silver Medals.

Dedicated to honoring selfless bravery in life-saving situations, the society continues to uphold its mission through public recognition of heroism across the region. Their awards and ceremonies celebrate the courage of individuals who put their lives at risk to save others.
