ATTENTION ALL SECURITY GUARDS – ESPECIALLY THOSE ON VISAS OR NEW TO THE SECURITY INDUSTRY!

Just a reminder to everyone working in the security industry, particularly those who may be unfamiliar with Australian employment laws and security licensing requirements.

If a security company asks you to obtain your own ABN (Australian Business Number) so they can pay you as a contractor, BE VERY CAREFUL!

Operating as an independent security contractor is not as simple as obtaining an ABN and receiving payment.

Depending on your working arrangements and the state or territory in which you operate, you may also be required to have:

✅ A Security Master Licence – Not simply an individual security licence.

✅ Public Liability Insurance – Appropriate insurance coverage for the security services you provide.

✅ Workers Compensation Insurance – Where required under the applicable legislation and your business arrangements.

✅ Compliance with Taxation, Superannuation and Employment Laws – Having an ABN does not automatically make you a legitimate independent contractor.

LET'S MAKE ONE THING VERY CLEAR!

A legitimate security company employing you as a security guard does not need you to obtain an ABN to perform your duties as an employee.

Unfortunately, some operators use ABN arrangements to avoid their responsibilities, including paying Award wages, penalty rates, superannuation, leave entitlements and other employment obligations.

The result? The guard carries the financial and legal risks while the company maximises its profits.

Not every ABN arrangement is illegal. Genuine independent security contracting does exist, but it must comply with the relevant licensing, insurance, taxation and workplace laws.

TO ALL SECURITY GUARDS:

Know your rights. Understand your obligations. Don't allow yourself to be exploited simply because you are new to the industry, unfamiliar with Australian legislation or working in Australia on a visa.

And to those companies deliberately exploiting security guards through sham contracting arrangements — you are part of the reason our industry continues to struggle with poor standards, unfair competition and the exploitation of workers.

An ABN is not a loophole to avoid your legal responsibilities as an employer.

Our security industry deserves better, and so do the people working in it.

Security built on standards. Trust earned through action.

Choosing a security provider means choosing a team that takes professionalism, compliance, and accountability seriously.

Blackhawk Logistics is committed to delivering security services with a focus on precision, transparency, and dependable service.

Our approach is simple: uphold the standards that matter and deliver with confidence.

Predictable routines can create predictable risks.

When security patrols follow the same schedule and route every time, patterns can become easier to anticipate.

That's why a smarter patrol strategy combines scheduled checks with varied routes and timing.
It helps reduce predictability and supports a more proactive approach to protecting your property.

At Blackhawk Logistics, we understand that effective security is about more than simply being present.
It's about staying alert, adapting, and thinking ahead.

At Blackhawk Logistics, we are proud to stand alongside Defence veterans and recognise the depth of experience they bring to our industry.

We are privileged to work with Alex, who brings more than 20 years of operational, technical and leadership experience supporting Defence and the veteran community.

Alex began his military career with the Royal Australian Artillery, progressing from Gunner to Detachment Commander before deploying to Timor Leste.

He later transitioned into Special Forces as a Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC), completing multiple operational deployments to the Middle East in support of Special Operations Task Groups.

Beyond his operational service, Alex has led JTAC training and certification, represented Defence in multinational programs, and continues his involvement with the veteran community as an Invictus Games competitor and adaptive sports coach.

Today, Alex brings that extensive operational experience into Defence industry, working across capability, compliance and program delivery with Blackhawk Logistics.

His professionalism, operational expertise and commitment to supporting others reflect the values and culture we continue to build at Blackhawk Logistics.

As a Defence-focused consultancy, we remain committed to recognising service, supporting veterans, and creating meaningful long-term opportunities for ex-serving Defence personnel to continue contributing beyond military service.

We actively encourage applications from ex-serving ADF personnel, reservists, and those transitioning from service.
