Builds on: Becoming a Security Professional
Australia Duty Basics
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
In Australia, security work is licensed by each state and territory. The rules on licences, arrest and privacy are not the same everywhere. This unit gives you the basics, and shows you where your own state's rules apply.
Focus: hold the right licence for your state, know your limits, and call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency.
Learning objectives
