Security Licensing Course (Australia) 2026

This course explains how security licensing works across Australia's states and territories: who the regulators are, the main licence types, what you need to apply and the rules you must follow once licensed. It does not give you a licence. To work in security you must complete the required training and apply to your state or territory regulator; this course is background knowledge only.
