It recognises outstanding achievement by a Member of the Institute in process chemistry, chemical engineering or related areas in the chemical industry (including commercial or marketing functions), and predominately of Australian origin. The Medal may be awarded to an individual or a small team, and to a person who has acted in an advisory role to government over a long period. It is presented at the annual Chemeca conference.
