I have a picture somewhere in my files of the large red cross cloth badge, worn on a WW2 VAD uniform. I doubt if it was WW1.
Australian VAD nurses in Britain in WW1 wore a rising sun collar badge with a red cross in the centre and just 'Australia' on the scroll, really rare. There is a thread somewhere on the Forum. It is illustrated also on the AWM website with pictures of the uniform. The VAD, Anna Hogg, is wearing a British Red Cross/VAD cap badge with the Australian collar badges.
Another rare badge is a WW2 rising sun cape badge with an attached "Nursing Training" scroll in blue enamel, very few made.
