Security Installer Licence - Western Australia

Description

You will need this licence to act as a security installer. A security installer is someone who is paid to install, maintain or repair items of security equipment. This licence is available in four different classes that authorise you to install, maintain or repair different types of security equipment:

  • Class 1: Safes, vaults and locks
  • Class 2: Security alarms, CCTV for security purposes, electric fences, bulletproof doors or screens and associated equipment
  • Class 3: Security doors
  • Class 4: Locks.

You may hold more than one class of licence at the same time.

You may only work as a licensed security installer if you are employed by a licensed security agent, unless you are a sole-trader, in which case you will need a security agent licence. You must apply for the agent's licence separately.

This licence does not apply to the installation of security of equipment in vehicles, vessels or aircraft.

You may be able to apply for a temporary licence of up to one year if you are an interstate visitor and hold an equivalent licence in your home state or territory.
