Security 

All electrical and communications contractors involved in the design, installation, maintenance, service or repair of security equipment such as alarm systems, security cameras and automatic gates are required by law to hold a Master Licence. Further, all employees of the contractor undertaking such work require an employee licence.

The ACT Security Industry Act 2003 makes it an offence to provide certain private security services without a Master Licence. You must have an ACT licence to undertake the restricted works, even if you have a Master Security licence from another state.

To apply for a Master Licence for the ACT, you can download forms from http://www.ors.act.gov.au/index.html

NECA is your door to obtaining a Master Licence.

All Master Licence holders must belong to an Approved Security Organisation (ASO). Master Licences will be issued and maintained only while a relationship in this form remains valid. NECA is an Approved Security Organisation.
