How is the rank of an austrlian sergeant shown on an army uniform?

Three chevrons, with the points facing down. See related link at the bottom. On their fatigue uniforms I saw them wearing in Afghanistan and Iraq, there would be a tab at the front of their blouse. The rank insignia would be embroidered on a loop, and this tab would be run through that loop. The actual rank insignia used by the Australians is more the same of those used by the British and other Commonwealth Dominion forces - there may be slight variations (such as the Canadian rank insignia, which has the rank of Master Corporal, and incorporates the Canadian maple leaf into the insignia), but the structure follows the British example, and the crown is an ever present feature on the insignia badges of certain ranks, military unit insignia, etc. (note: this only applies to the actual Commonwealth Dominions/Realms, who acknowledge the British monarch as head of state. Not all countries who are members of the Commonwealth of Nations are Commonwealth Dominions, and the crown is absent from their insignia).
