The special Coat-of-Arms commemorating the pending ecclesiastic administrative unity of the Metropolitanate of Australia and New Zealand, as designed by Mr Dragomir Acovic, President of The White Eagle Serbian Society for Heraldry, Genealogy, Vexillology and Phaleristics, is as follows:

A centred shield is adorned by a Double-bar Patriarchal Cross on the right and an Archpastoral Staff on the left. The shield, which consists of four quarters, is adorned on the top by a Golden Episcopal Crown. The top left quarter contains a Silver Cross of four equal sides with a Silver Flint Stone in each corner of the cross on a red background. The top right quarter contains the Southern Cross of Australia's Flag in silver on deep blue background. The bottom left quarter is the Southern Cross from the New Zealand Flag in red on a deep blue background. The bottom right quarter contains an iconic representation of St Sava I, the Founder of the Autocephalous Serbian Orthodox Church in hierarchical vestments standing a green cliff against a gold background, blessing with his right hand and holding in his left hand the Holy Gospel. Two stylised angels as heavenly deacons represent the guardians of the shield.

This Commemorative Crest is executed to heraldic specifications which are reflected in the traditional, centuries-old crests of many dioceses of the Serbian Orthodox Church: Backa, Banat, Bihac-Petrovac, Zvornik-Tuzla, Dalmatia, Upper Karlovci and the like.
