Requirements
Fair Trading inspectors conduct random checks to ensure security providers are complying with the law.
If an inspector approaches you, they will produce a signed photo ID.
A Fair Trading inspector can:
- enter any public place that is open
- enter an area with the owner’s permission
- enter any area if they have a warrant from the Magistrates Court
- search the premises
- seize possessions
- take copies of documents
- take other people or equipment into the area.
You must abide by all lawful requests a Fair Trading inspector makes. If requested, you must:
- give your name and address
- provide any information regarding your work
- produce and provide copies of documents required.
You can be fined up to $6 000 if you don't comply with an inspector's request.
Unlicensed or inappropriate activity
You can be heavily penalised for unlicensed or inappropriate activity.
You can also be penalised if you directly or indirectly hire an unlicensed or inappropriately licensed security provider.
Please report any inappropriate activity or unlicensed operators to us.
