Security and Investigation Industry Act 1995

An application for a licence must—

be made to the Commissioner in the manner and form approved by the

Commissioner; and

be accompanied by the fee fixed by regulation.

An applicant for a licence must provide the Commissioner with such evidence as the Commissioner thinks appropriate as to the identity, age and address of the applicant, or, if the applicant is a body corporate, each director of the body corporate, and any other information required by the

Commissioner for the purposes of determining the application.

If the Commissioner is not in possession of a suitable photograph of an applicant for a licence who is a natural person, the Commissioner must require an applicant for a licence who is a natural person to attend at a specified place for the purpose of having the applicant's photograph taken or to supply the Commissioner with 1 or more photographs of the applicant as specified by the Commissioner.

Subject to subsection (3b), the Commissioner must require the following persons to make arrangements to have their fingerprints taken:

an applicant for a security agents licence or security industry trainers licence who is a natural person;

each director of a body corporate that is an applicant for a security agents licence.

The Commissioner need not impose a requirement in respect of fingerprints if the Commissioner is satisfied that the person's fingerprints have been taken (whether in or outside this State) and information relating to the identity, antecedents and criminal history of the person relevant to whether the application should be granted has been provided to the

Commissioner.

The Commissioner may require an applicant for a security agents licence authorising the performance of the function of controlling crowds who is a natural person to take part, at the cost of the applicant, in an approved psychological assessment.

If an applicant for a licence, or, if the applicant is a body corporate, a director of the body corporate, has previously failed to pay a fee or penalty that became payable under this Act, the Commissioner may require the applicant to pay the whole or a specified part of the fee or penalty.

The Commissioner may, by notice in writing, require a person, within a time fixed by the notice (which may not be less than 28 days after service of the notice), to comply with any requirement under this section to the Commissioner's satisfaction.

If the person fails to comply with the notice under subsection (5), the Commissioner may, without further notice, refuse the application but keep the fee that accompanied the application.
