In South Australia, Consumer and Business Services issues security licences, and SA Police do the fingerprinting and integrity checks.

Questions fréquentes

Who issues security licences in Australia?

Each state and territory does. Examples are SLED (NSW Police Force) in NSW, Victoria Police in Victoria, the Office of Fair Trading in Queensland, WA Police in WA and Access Canberra in the ACT.

Can I use my security licence in another state?

Not directly. NSW SLED says security licences cannot be transferred between states. If you hold a licence in another state, you can apply for the equivalent licence under mutual recognition.

Does this course count as security licence training?

No. Licences need accredited training, usually units from the Certificate II in Security Operations through a registered training organisation, plus first aid and any extra course your state requires. This course is background knowledge only.

What happens if I am charged with a serious offence while licensed?

Many regulators require you to report it. For example, the NT says to tell the NT Government immediately if you are charged with or convicted of a disqualifying offence.

L’attestation est-elle accréditée ou reconnue officiellement ?

Non. C’est une attestation de réussite privée, uniquement pour vos connaissances. Elle n’est reconnue, accréditée ni approuvée par aucun gouvernement, organisme de délivrance des permis, autorité de réglementation ou établissement d’enseignement, et elle ne remplace aucun permis, aucune certification ni aucune formation exigés par la loi.
