The Australian Historical Association (AHA) has constituted the Serle Award as a biennial prize to commemorate the contribution to Australian History of Geoffrey Serle (1922–1998). The Award has been established through the generosity of Mrs Jessie Serle. It takes the form of a $2,500 publishing subsidy for the best postgraduate thesis in Australian History completed and examined during the previous two year period. The first award was conferred at the AHA conference in Brisbane in July 2002.
Geoffrey Serle was Lecturer in History at the University of Melbourne (1951–60), Senior Lecturer and Reader in History at Monash University (1961-63), and General Editor of the Australian Dictionary of Biography (1975–88).

The Serle Award is intended to assist early career researchers to publish recently completed theses. Applications must contain a statement from the author on the provenance of the manuscript, the nature of its contribution to the knowledge and understanding of Australian history, and copies of examiners reports must be included.
The Serle Award will be payable on receipt of publisher's proofs, which must be forwarded to the AHA Secretariat within twelve months of notification of the award. The final publication must make appropriate acknowledgement of the Australian Historical Association and the Serle Award.
The Serle Award will be administered by a panel appointed by the Australian Historical Association. The decision of the panel will be final.
