ANZACs question regarding eligibility

Question

I have a member of the family who was not a service person as such but was a member of the Allied Works Council Civil Construction Corps in World War 2.  The members of this service were awarded a medal some years ago in recognition of their service, but I am not sure if they would be considered as a qualifying as ANZACs as such.    

Can someone from the ANZACs project please clarify that for me

This is from Digger History. http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-conflicts-periods/ww2/civil-cc.htm So maybe we could have a CCC category for WW2?

The Corps was formed as a civilian rather than military organisation and comprised volunteers and persons called up under military impressments. Given the wartime climate and the range of powers given to the Director-General, the Corps operated under a more rigid discipline than would be normal industrial practice. While members’ pay was based on civilian award rates, they could not refuse work and were subject to regulations governing their conduct on the job and to the orders of the Director-General for maintaining good order at works or in camps.
