Information for a Sole Proprietor of a Security Business

If you are a sole proprietor of a the business (see Definitions for description of sole proprietor), you are not required to pay the fees for a new or the renewal of your Security Worker Licence. You are only required to pay the fee for a new or renewal of your security business licence.

You must, however, pay the $20 fee:

  • whenever you provide an update that will alter what is on your printed security worker or security business licence; and
  • if you need to replace either licence should it become lost or stolen.

Normal fees for your security worker licence will apply should the business change from sole proprietor.
