SECURITY EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE 2023

The Security Exhibition & Conference 2023 will be held at the ICC Sydney from 30 August - 1 September 2023, showcasing the latest security technologies and solutions. The ASIAL Conference held over two days will cover key topics that are vital for the security industry.

Under an amendment to the Police Act 1990 (section 209) which came into effect on 1 January 2023, NSW Police will charge a fee for false alarm responses.

The NSW Police Force has however provided a three-month grace period (1 January - 31 March 2023) to allow members to notify customers of the change, during which the charge payable will remain at $200.

From 1 April 2023 charges payable will increase to $1,600 as prescribed in the Act.

The change brings NSW Police in line with other Emergency Services in terms of charges for comparable false alarms activations. The change is intended to continue the strategy of reduction of false alarm responses by NSW Police, which then enables greater responsiveness to genuine alarm activations and other emergencies experienced in the community.
