The rank of general is the most senior active rank in the Australian Army. Only the five-star rank of field marshal is higher, but it is reserved for exceptional circumstances and only Sir Thomas Blamey (1951) has attained the rank in a non-ceremonial capacity. There are currently no appointments in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) at the five-star level. With the current structure of the ADF, the rank of general is held only when an officer of the Australian Army is appointed as Chief of the Defence Force.

1. An Australian brigadier is not classed as a "general", whereas an Australian brigadier general was. The British Army replaced the rank of brigadier general with colonel-commandant in 1922, and then with brigadier in 1928. The Australian Army did something similar. The rank of brigadier general was abolished in the Australian Army in 1921, and it was eventually replaced by that of brigadier in 1929. In the interim titles such as 'colonel-in-command', 'colonel-of-staff' and 'colonel-commandant' were used for officers posted into that level of command.(Cadet Instructor's Handbook 2006)
2. Birdwood, an officer of the British Indian Army, had been General Officer Commanding Australian Imperial Force (1915–19) during the First World War. He was granted the honorary rank of field marshal in the Australian Military Forces when promoted to field marshal in the British Army in 1925.

6. Sanderson was Chief of the General Staff until the position was re-titled as Chief of Army in February 1997.
7. Downes was placed on the Retired List of the British Army in 1884 as an honorary major general.
