The Walter Boas Medal is awarded for original research that makes an important contribution to physics in Australia. This prestigious award is given for research that has been carried out in Australia in the last five years. Nominations are open to current AIP members.

The Bragg Gold Medal recognises the most outstanding PhD thesis in physics by a student from an Australian University. The Thomas H Laby Medal is awarded for the best Honours or Masters thesis from an Australian university. Nominations for student awards must be submitted by the university that awarded the nominee's degree. Nominations are first assessed by the State branches, who shortlist candidates for consideration by the national level selection panel.
