GENERAL SUITABILITY CRITERIA

To be eligible for a QLD unarmed security officer licence, you must meet suitability criteria required by security industry legislation. These fall into two main categories:

1. General;
2. Criminal and Other Related History;
3. Provide fingerprints

GENERAL SUITABILITY CRITERIA:

If you wish to be granted a QLD security licence, you must:

• be 18 years of age or over;
• not pose a risk to public safety;
• have successfully completed any required training and assessment;
• be competent to carry on the security activity to which the proposed licence relates;
• be an Australian/New Zealand citizen or permanent Australian resident or hold a visa that entitles you to work in Australia (other than a student or working holiday visa);
• When you lodge the form, you will need to attach 100 points of formal identification. These documents must be either original (if lodged at the counter) or certified copies.

FINGERPRINTING

By law, the police need to fingerprint all security providers. We will contact you after you lodge your application form to explain what you need to do.

CRIMINAL AND OTHER RELATED HISTORY

You are not eligible to be granted a QLD security licence if you have:

• within the previous 10 years, been convicted of a disqualifying offence in the past 10 years, where a conviction was recorded;

You must also tell us if you have been found guilty of a disqualifying offence in the past five years, where a conviction was not recorded (this is known as an ‘unrecorded finding of guilt’). We may ask you for further information so we can assess if you are a suitable person to hold a licence

To confirm your suitability, we will submit your application for a criminal history check. This will be thorough and may be time consuming.

If you were born in New Zealand or have a New Zealand passport, you need to get a copy of your criminal history or a letter indicating you have no criminal history from New Zealand. For more information, visit the New Zealand Ministry of Justice website.
