 Following his election in 2013, Prime Minister Tony Abbott advised the Queen to reinstate the categories of dame and knight.On 19 March 2014, the Queen co-signed Letters Patent to bring this into effect, although no announcement of this change was made until 25 March.At that time it was also announced that the Governor-General would be the Principal Knight or Dame of the Order; the incumbent but outgoing governor-general, Quentin Bryce, was immediately made a Dame of the Order, and the new governor-general, General Peter Cosgrove, became a Knight immediately upon his swearing-in on 28 March.
