| Introduction | |
| In early 2011, the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) in conjunction with the Australian Security Industry Association (ASIAL) commenced a national education campaign on changes to the Security Services Industry Award 2010. The campaign has been funded by the Australian Government through the Fair Work Ombudsman's Shared Industry Assistance Projects (SIAP) Grant Program, which aims to better inform employers (particularly small to medium businesses) about changes to modern awards applicable to their industry sector. Following a competitive selection process, ASIAL was one of 15 successful organisations selected to deliver the education campaign in conjunction with the FWO. | |

| The Security Services Industry Award 2010 |
| Important changes in Australia’s workplace laws that affect security employers and employees covered by the national workplace relation systems came into effect from 1 January 2010. These changes include the commencement of the modern Security Services Industry Award 2010 and the introduction of new National Employment Standards (NES). |
| Under the NES, employees have certain minimum conditions. Together with pay rates in modern awards (which in the Security Services Industry Award 2010 take place from 1 July 2010) and minimum wage orders, the NES compensates for the safety net that cannot be changed to the disadvantage of an employee. Employers can always provide benefits in addition to those minimum conditions. |
