14. What will the training requirements be?
The new Act allows training or minimum competency requirements to be imposed by regulation. The regulations are yet to be introduced, but it is intended that they will require personal guards, property guards and crowd controllers to meet minimum competency requirements. This will ensure these security personnel have the necessary knowledge and skills to do their job safely and effectively.
The training requirements will be developed in consultation with the industry and other stakeholders. The timing will take into account the nature of the requirements and how long it will reasonably take people to complete the training.
