I tried to search the register but was unlucky, we found a female relative badge. We think it was awarded to my grandmother when her son was killed in 1942 or it maybe another relative. The badge shows AF which I think is airforce and number 35783. Not sure what I need to search to confirm.
There is the following possible entry from the Register of Female Relatives Badge [WWII - New South Wales] - Book2:

Thanks wasn’t the surname I was expecting.
I did find the following comment:
“Whilst the Registers of Issues for the Army issued badges have been digitised, and are on the National Archives of Australia website (NAA), the Registers for Navy and Air Force badges are not digitised, but can be ordered and accessed at the Reading Room of the NAA, in Canberra.“

Thankyou, looks like I need to make a trip to Canberra
