About the New South Wales Security Licence

Security licensing in New South Wales is administered by NSW Police Force, through the Security Industry Registry, with licences granted by the Commissioner of Police, under the Security Industry Act 1997 (No. 157) and the Security Industry Regulation 2016 (amended 1 June 2023).

Licences run for either 1 or 5 years, chosen at application. All applicants must pass a National Police Check as part of the licensing process, and the underlying qualification (Certificate II or III in Security Operations) is nationally accredited even though the licence itself is issued by the state.

Important: A National Police Check is mandatory for all security licence applicants. Certain convictions, particularly violence, fraud or drug-related offences, can result in refusal of a licence. Each state licensing authority makes its own determination.
