Business Security Kit


The Victorian Police have developed a Business Security Kit to provide small business retailers with basic crime prevention advice to reduce the occurrence and cost of crime to business and the wider community.

Suspension of Security Officer Traineeships


The Vocational Training Tribunal Unit of the Department of Education and Training (DET) has released advice that the establishment of Security Operations traineeships has been suspended at the request of the Security Industry Registry.

The SIR recommended the suspension of such traineeships because of the implications for them of the current investigation of security licensing training related matters by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

Under the circumstances, the SIR considers (and DET agrees) that it would be inappropriate to establish further Security Operations traineeships until the release of the ICAC's investigation findings.
