The last three badges look like the ones issue to the Women's Royal Australian Army Corps (WRAAC). Not exactly sure when first worn (But suspect mid 70's) but I certainly saw them being worn in the mid 80's.

The first one is a normal sergeant or staff sergeant (latter with crown) set of chevrons for general duty dress (greens), certainly from the early 1960s right up into the 1990s when Austcam became the standard general duty dress.
L1A1 is correct about the WRAAC use for the remainder, I'm sure the gold/silver ones were worn on the green winter jacket, the light green ones on the shirt. Probably same period as above. |

Many thanks guys,
I have a couple more that are larger than these ones and come in pairs to be separated for wear. Thanks for your help, Bill

Nos 2 & 3, silver and gold on dark green may be for a bandsman's uniform.
I think the Royal Victorian Regiment Pipes and Drums had a dark green jacket. Regards, Tony |
