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.

The entertainer was sentenced in July last year to five years and nine months' jail for indecently assaulting four girls in Britain between 1968 and 1986.

However he's expected to serve less than three years behind bars.

During his lengthy trial another six women gave supporting evidence that Harris abused them in Australia, New Zealand and Malta between 1969 and 1991.
