Rolf Harris has been stripped of his two Australian honours.
The decision was gazetted by Governor-General Peter Cosgrove on Monday.
"It is notified that the Governor-General has terminated the appointments of Officer and Member of the Order of Australia in the General Division made to Mr Rolf Harris," the notice said.
Harris was sentenced in July 2014 to five years and nine months' jail for indecently assaulting four girls in Britain between 1968 and 1986.
However the Australian entertainer is expected to serve less than three years behind bars.
In mid-October a British newspaper reported Harris could face fresh charges as a result of more than 10 new victims claiming they were abused by the disgraced artist and singer.
It was also reported in mid-October that Harris had to be moved to a new prison for his own safety after being bullied by inmates.
The convicted sex offender was moved from HMP Bullingdon in Oxfordshire to Stafford jail after being taunted by fellow prisoners.
