The ANZIAM medal is our most prestigious award. At most one award will be made annually, but only to a candidate of sufficient merit. The selection criteria for the award are:

Outstanding research in Applied and/or Industrial Mathematics, where a significant proportion of the research work has been carried out in Australia and/or New Zealand. 

• Outstanding research in Applied and/or Industrial Mathematics, where a significant proportion of the research work has been carried out in Australia and/or New Zealand.
• Distinguished service in the field of Applied Mathematics. Service in ANZIAM related activities will be highly regarded.
• Membership of ANZIAM for at least the five calendar years preceding the year in which the award is made or, in the case of retired members, the five years prior to retirement. Backdating of membership is not acceptable.

The first award was made at the 1995 ANZIAM conference. Between 1995 and 2017, the ANZIAM Medal was awarded at most biennially.
