ASIAL

Spinks Security is a full member of the Australian Security Industry Association Limited (ASIAL). We are also registered as a Cabling Service Provider under the Australian Communications Authority Cabling Provider Rules 2000.

The Australian Security Industry Association Ltd (ASIAL) is the peak national body for the Australian Security Industry. Since its establishment in 1969, ASIAL has grown from a small network of security companies to one that today represents approximately 85% of the security industry in Australia.

Each State and Territory has its own licensing requirements. Most States and Territories require that both businesses and individuals be licensed. In Victoria, security firms and businesses, and employees of security firms and businesses, must be either licensed or registered. Spinks Security holds a Private Security Business Licence certifying that, pursuant to the Private Security Act 2004, we have the authority to provide the services of Security Adviser and Security Equipment Installer.

ASIAL is dedicated to supporting its members, promoting standards and safeguarding public interests.
