Former New Zealand PM John Key will be given Australia's highest civilian honour tomorrow.

Key will be appointed an Honorary Companion in the Order of Australia ‑ awarded for "outstanding achievement and service" ‑ in a Canberra ceremony.

Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull, who recommended the accolade, said Key had expanded ties and economic interests between the two nations.

Key cited family reasons for his surprise resignation last year.
