Notes

* The Location of Officials matters for precedence; an official enjoys different precedence within and without of his or her state.
* Each State and Territory also has its own Table of Precedence.
* The recipients of Decorations or Honours gain precedence in the order of Seniority or Superiority of the Orders themselves; the Orders of Knighthood in Australia have the same seniority as in the United Kingdom, with a few insertions or promotions of entirely Australian, non-British honours; see Australian Honours Order of Precedence.
