Results are given below for the 1996 AMC, held on Tuesday 30 July. There are 11 perfect scores, 4 from Australia, 3 from Singapore and 4 from Bulgaria. The Singapore perfect scores came from 11,000 entries.

For the first time in its 19 year history, entries in the AMC were lower than for the previous year. Enrolment numbers 521,542 (from just over 540,000 in 1995). The main reason for this is industrial disputation in Australian Secondary schools. Four regions of Australia saw work bans in place, prohibiting activity outside the basic teaching process.

For the first time there is a medallist from Brunei and one from Ireland.

Medals were presented to successful Australian and New Zealand students at a function held in the Australian Academy of Science, Canberra, on 1 November. Presentations were made by the Governor-General of Australia, His Excellency Sir William Deane, AC, KBE.

Guest of Honour was the Under Secretary of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Dr Estrella F Alabastro.
