The 34 annual Security Exhibition and Conference will be held at Sydney’s International Convention Centre from the 24-26th July 2019. ASIAL has enjoyed a long association in providing a showcase for the latest and innovative security solutions to safeguard the community. th

This year’s event features:

A thought provoking conference program featuring over 25 local and international security experts (24-26 July 2019); A comprehensive exhibition featuring hundreds of demonstrations and new product releases from 170 leading brands (24-26 July 2019); A Gala networking dinner (25 July) at Sydney’s Town Hall where ASIAL will celebrate its 50th anniversary.

As Australia’s premier security event, Security 2019 brings together the largest collection of electronic and physical security suppliers in the Southern Hemisphere, with leading security brands as well as small innovative businesses.

The recent decision by the Federal Court of Australia in clarifying the use of 12 hour shifts and overtime (see page 22) is a positive result for our industry. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of those involved in arriving at this outcome.

One of the first actions of the recently established Victorian Portable Long Service Authority was to announce the levy to be applied to the Portable Long Service Benefits scheme to commence on 1 July 2019.

The levy announced will be 1.8% for

the security and cleaning sectors and 1.65% for the community services sector. The levy is calculated based on the workers ordinary pay. From 1 July 2019, businesses employing workers in community services, contract cleaning and security and businesses employing workers who perform work covered by the Portable Long Service Benefits Scheme must register with the Portable Long Service Authority. The scheme covers casual, part time and permanent employees.

Employers are required to register the business and employees from 1 July 2019. The first quarterly return and payment to the PLSA will be required by end of October 2019.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge my fellow board member, Rachaell Saunders, who has been appointed to the Victorian Portable Long Service Leave Authority Board.

Congratulations Rachaell.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the Security 2019 show and networking events.

A property portfolio built for the long haul Sponsored by AustralianSuper AustralianSuper is one of the world’s largest investors in unlisted assets, investing more than $30 billion in assets like direct property, infrastructure and credit. We use our scale and capabilities to access a broad range of quality assets that have delivered solid long-term returns for members.

Here, AustralianSuper’s acting head of Property, John Longo talks about the Fund’s direct property strategy, the role it plays in a diversified portfolio and the outlook.

What type of property assets do you invest in and why?

Our focus is on investing in large, quality assets like shopping centres and office buildings in Australia and international markets that can provide reliable, steady income streams.

We believe a portfolio which has exposure to high quality, large scale international assets in global cities, coupled with exposure to core Australian commercial property, improves diversification and provides the potential for better long-term returns. Since 2013, AustralianSuper members have become part-owners of the Ala Moana Shopping Center in Hawaii, King’s Cross Estate in London, Centre: MK also in the UK, and a portfolio of office buildings in Boston and Washington DC. There’s been a lot of news coverage about a potential housing market downturn in Australia, with prices already falling. What does this mean for AustralianSuper’s property investments?

We don’t expect the falls in house values to impact the pricing of commercial property sectors.

Pricing and valuations of commercial property are determined by investor expectations of future cash flows and return requirements which are not directly related to residential property.

What’s the outlook for AustralianSuper’s property portfolio?

AustralianSuper invests in multiple property sectors, either by acquiring properties directly or investing via unlisted funds. The main sectors we invest in are office, retail and industrial with the key geographies being UK, USA and Australia.

The outlook for the office and industrial market is positive, driven mainly by strong tenant demand, controlled supply and relatively high occupancy levels in most markets. Industrial property has experienced strong demand for space due to increasing logistic requirements as a result of increasing consumer consumption and e-commerce sales.

Retail property is being impacted by increasing online retail spending which is affecting retailer profit margins and the demand for retail space. We believe that the largest regional shopping centres are best placed to withstand the effects of online sales.

Property returns move in cycles. Currently, we’re in the mature phase of the growth cycle as values have generally been increasing since the global financial crisis and property rental yields and return expectations are relatively low compared to historical levels. Generally, we think property valuations and returns will be more moderate in future years due to the maturing property cycle. However, with continued economic growth and supportive interest rates, the majority of markets that we monitor are in a relatively strong supply / demand position and cash flows from well leased properties are relatively secure. As long-term investors, we look at returns across the entire economic cycle as these are what are going to matter the most for members.

AustralianSuper members can gain exposure to direct property through our PreMixed options or the DIY Property option.

With endorsement of CPP20218 Certificate II in Security Operations and CPP31418 Certificate III in Close Personal Protection Operations and CPP31318 Certificate III in Security Operations (go to Training.gov.au for the qualifications that have been endorsed), ASIAL continues to engage with State and Territory regulators to ensure there is a nationally consistent approach to training delivery.

ASIAL’s stated position is that an appropriate entry level training for security personnel is 130 hours of auditable training.

MOBILE SECURITY PATROLS CODE OF PRACTICE ASIAL has drafted a Code of Practice covering the broad operation and delivery of security services by mobile security patrol providers.

The Code is a practical guide to assist members to meet their client responsibilities, provide a safe environment for the delivery of the service and importantly provide systems and communication

pathways to verify the delivery of the contracted service.

Members will be provided with the opportunity to provide feedback and comment on the draft before it is finalised.

To request a copy of the draft email security@asial.com.au

National Alarm Activation Guideline Reminder The National Emergency Communications Working Group – Australia and New Zealand in consultation with the Australian Security Industry Association Limited have developed a National Police Alarm Activation Response Guideline (‘the Guideline’) to align police classification, requirements and response to alarms and alarm activations.

The Guideline provides a framework for: 33 National consistency in the way in which Australian policing jurisdictions and security companies who are members of recognised security industry organisations define and respond to alarm activations; 33 Processes and procedures for the handling of alarm responses; 33 More efficient use of police resources.

6 SEC UR IT Y IN S IDE R | JU N/ JU L 201 9

The Members are reminded that the transitional period to enable Alarm Monitoring Centres to meet the National Alarm Activation Guideline ends on the 30th June 2019.

After this date police will respond to requests for assistance from accredited Alarm Monitoring Providers who: 33 Are a current member of an recognised security industry organisation, and 33 Comply with Australian Standard 2201.2 (as revised from time to time) monitoring centre certification, and 33 Are capable of showing Caller Line Identification (CLI) to the relevant police jurisdiction’s telephone links.

CHANGES FOR A WHITE CARD CONSTRUCTION INDUCTION TRAINING Training for a Queensland White Card must now be face to face with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

A Queensland white card is recognised in all Australian states and the Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory. Queensland also recognises white cards issued from each of these areas.

Concerns about the effectiveness and quality of online training were raised by various stakeholders during the Best Practice Review of Workplace Health and Safety Queensland in 2017. In addition, similar concerns have been long held by work health and safety regulators in other jurisdictions including New South Wales and Victoria.

In response to these ongoing concerns, last year Workplace Health and Safety Queensland advised all registered training organisations that construction induction training would need to be delivered face-to-face from 1 February 2019, with an exception if a Queensland resident lives in a rural area greater than 100 km from an RTO approved to deliver this course.

This arrangement aligns with those in Northern Territory, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, where online delivery of construction induction training is not permitted.

Training for a white card is delivered under a national competency standard, with mutual recognition between states. This change in requirements responds to industry concerns regarding the quality of on-line training which has placed the mutual recognition of Queensland issued white cards at risk.

VIC Labour Hire Licensing Scheme From 29 April 2019 labour hire providers will have six months to apply for a licence under the Victorian Government’ Labour Hire Licensing Scheme. The commencement of the scheme announced today by Minister for Industrial Relations, Tim Pallas, makes the system fairer for workers, businesses and providers.

The scheme seeks to achieve a level playing field, so that labour providers do not face unfair competition from unscrupulous operators, and workers are not subject to exploitation.

To operate legally in Victoria from 30 October 2019, labour hire providers must have applied for, or have a labour hire licence.

Federal Court Full Court Clarifies Use of 12 hour Shifts and Overtime

“Rostering arrangements are within the discretion of the employer. Consistently with the existence of this discretion the Award does not contain any express restrictions on the exercise of that power. In particular it is open to an employer:

Members may be aware that in 2017 United Voice ACT Branch made an application to the Federal Court arguing, in essence, that under the Security Services Industry Award 2010 (the Award) employers could not allocate overtime on Sundays during a 12 hour roster cycle and that overtime could only be calculated as commencing after ordinary hours had been exhausted.

The decision by Justice Tracey found in favour of the employer and noted: To view the full judgment visit asial.com.au

ACCC SCAMS REPORT shows increase in reported losses by Australian businesses

33 to choose the day on which a roster is to begin; 33 to decide whether overtime hours can be included in the roster at a point before which all ordinary hours have been worked; hours can be worked; and

33 to fix the number of days of the week on which ordinary hours are to be worked (subject to the limitations prescribed by cls 21.3 and 21.4).”

United Voice sought to appeal the decision and the appeal was heard by the Federal Court Full Court. Its decision was handed down on 26 April 2019.

Justices Collier, Bromwich and Wheelahan dismissed the appeal and upheld the earlier decision of Justice Tracey. They found that the Award placed no restriction on the employer, confirming Justice Tracey’s findings as noted above.

Further the Federal Court – Full Court indicated that overtime could be worked prior to the commencement or after the completion of ordinary shift hours or on a day when ordinary hours are not rostered.

The Targeting scams report has found that small businesses with less than 20 staff were most likely to be targeted by scammers and accounted for more than 75 per cent of reports to the ACCC. Businesses were most likely to be targeted with false billing scams (1819

reports) but investment, hacking and phishing scams also caused significant losses.

QLD – DIGITAL WALLET AND ENABLING PLATFORMS Since 1910 Queenslanders have been using paper based driving licences for more than just driving. The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) is developing a Digital Wallet to allow Queenslanders to store Government issued credentials and products securely on their mobile phone. The first products to be trialled will be Photo ID cards, Learner and Provisional Driver Licences and Recreational Marine Licences.

The Digital Wallet has been piloted in Maryborough and Hervey Bay from May 2019 onwards. TMR’s research provider will be seeking a range of businesses that currently utilise credentials (for example sighting, copying or scanning a driver licence or Photo ID card prior to conducting a transaction) to assist with the pilot and design a solution that meets customer needs.

For further information about this project please email CORAL@tmr.qld.gov.au or visit tmr.qld.gov.au/digitalwallet

pixels real-estate, by definition can show no more than 1920/2 = 960 pairs of B/W lines across the width of the screen.

This maximum number of 960 is then ‘normalised’ to the 16:9 aspect ratio of HD, so we have 960:16x9=540., which we could call ‘line pairs per picture height, (LP/PH).’

So the maximum resolution an HD signal can have is 540 LP/PH. Similarly, the maximum resolution an UHD (4k) signal can have is 1080 LP/PH. If a sensor is not the ‘standard 16:9’ aspect ratio, the appropriate LP/PH can still be presented using such sensor aspect ratio.

As we all know, the resolution depends not only on the sensor itself, but also on the matching optics. In fact, lenses are almost always the bottle neck in CCTV. The next difference in the new standard, compared to the old analogue standards, is that we refer to the maximum resolution at the point where depth of modulation is equal or better than 10%.

The depth of modulation is defined the same as in analogue CCTV, but now the limit as at 10%.

defined as: M = (w - b) / (w + b) x 100 [%] So when this M <= 10%, we say this is the limit of the resolution of the camera/ lens combination.

The curve that describes the resolution M, versus the resolution (LP/ PH) is usually referred to as Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), but also as Spatial Frequency Response (SFR).

The new test chart v.5.0 uses Siemens sine-wave stars for more accurate resolution measurements.

Although we could do this by way of visual judgement based on the exported JPG image from a video stream, we mentioned that we have developed a software algorithm to make these measurement objectively, by the accurate algorithm we developed.

The The ‘sine-wave’ term refers to the changing of black to white, which is not sudden, abrupt, but goes continuous from black to white following a ‘sine-wave’ law.

According to the latest standards, the resolution can be measured at around 1000 lux or more illumination at the test chart.

Sine-wave

According to the latest standards, the resolution can be measured at around 1000 lux or more illumination at the test chart.

At lower illumination levels the resolution will always be lower, which is why the standards suggests that you should have at least 1000 lux reflected of the test chart when measuring resolution. You can certainly use less than 1000 lux, and although that will not show you the best resolution for the camera/lens combination, you can compare it with another model, but make sure you have the same light level in order to have an objective comparison.

In 2017 United Voice ACT Branch made an application to the Federal Court arguing, in essence, that under the Security Services Industry Award 2010 (the Award) employers could not allocate overtime on Sundays during a 12-hour roster cycle and that overtime could only be calculated as commencing after ordinary hours had been exhausted.

The decision by Justice Tracey found in favour of the employer and noted: “Rostering arrangements are within the discretion of the employer. Consistently with the existence of this discretion the Award does not contain any express restrictions on the exercise of that power. In particular it is open to an employer:

HOUR SHIFTS AND OVERTIME in the Security Industry

S E C URIT Y FE ATU RE

His Honour’s comments are consistent with the advice ASIAL has provided to members over many years.

United Voice sought to appeal the decision and the appeal was heard by the Federal Court Full Court. Its decision was handed down on 26 April 2019.

Justices Collier, Bromwich and Wheelahan dismissed the appeal and upheld the earlier decision of Justice Tracey. They found that the Award placed no restriction on the employer, confirming Justice Tracey’s findings as noted above.

Further, the Federal Court – Full Court indicated that overtime could be worked prior to the commencement or after the completion of ordinary shift hours or on a day when ordinary hours are not rostered.

What employers should do Employers should carefully consider all of the issues relating to the implementation of 12-hour shift patterns. Not only the provisions of the Security Services Industry Award 2010 (Award), but the implications for the business, the employees and the client.

ASIAL recommends that in any roster the start and finish times for ordinary hours should be clearly stated and overtime should be distinguishable from ordinary hours.

Employees are entitled to be represented for the purposes of negotiating such an agreement. Once agreement is reached it must be reduced to writing and kept as a time and wages record.

ASIAL recommends that in any roster the start and finish times for ordinary hours should be clearly stated and overtime should be distinguishable from ordinary hours.

Contract of Employment

Overtime

When offering employment, the contract of employment, amongst other crucial matters, should clearly state that the employee is covered by the Award and may be required to work ordinary shifts up to 12 hours in accordance with a roster.

Clause 23 deals with overtime. Any time worked before or after an ordinary time shift or on a day that the employee is not rostered to work must be paid at overtime rates i.e. the first 2 hours at time and a half the ordinary rate and double time thereafter except on Sundays when overtime is all at double time and public holidays when overtime is all at double time and a half.

The Award Clause 21.1 deals with Ordinary hours and roster cycles. It identifies the maximum number of ordinary hours per week as 38. However, it allows employers at their discretion to operate a roster that provides for an average of 38 hours per week to be worked over a roster cycle of up to 8 weeks.

Clause 21.2 sets the Shift duration for employees. As a general rule an employee may only work a maximum of 10 ordinary hours in any shift.

Where an agreement exists between the employer and the majority of employees concerned in a particular establishment, ordinary working hours exceeding 10 but not exceeding 12 hours per shift may be introduced subject to:

i.

proper health monitoring procedures being introduced;

ii. suitable roster arrangements being made; iii. proper supervision being provided;

Annual Leave and Personal Leave A recent decision by the Fair Work Commission could have widespread ramifications on how sick leave for shift workers is calculated, particularly when applied to employees working shifts longer than 7.6 hours. This could mean that employees working 12 hour shifts may be entitled to 120 hours of personal leave as opposed to the traditional 76 hours (10 days) under the National Employment Standards.

This decision is now the subject of an appeal in the Federal Court (Mondelez Australia Pty Ltd v AMWU & others (VID 731/2018)). Until it is resolved ASIAL cannot provide a definite answer about the effects of 12 hour shifts on the accrual of leave.

SCORING TERRORISM RISK QUESTIONS AND LIMITATIONS FOR PRACTITIONERS

By Aaron Tran and Andrew Tatrai

2 6 SEC U R IT Y IN S IDE R | JU N/ JU L 201 9

S E C URIT Y FE ATU RE

Methods to assess terrorism risk assessment were quickly developed as a matter of necessity following September 11 to allow organisations to understand, quantify and ultimately manage the complex risk posed by terrorism. This article will look at Aggregated Risk Scoring (ARS) methods of assessing terrorism risk such as CARVER, EVIL DONE, and the Crowded Places Self-Assessment Tool (CPSAT) and will examine several questions which highlight limitations which should be kept in mind by practitioners who use or rely on these types of tools and methods.

A brief overview of methods to assess terrorism risk The US Department of Homeland Security has led much of the development of terrorism risk assessment methods which have then been adopted and followed by others.

From FY2001 to FY2003, terrorism risk was quantified as a function of population. 1 Using population or population density as a measure of terrorism risk is still used by some bodies, such as the Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation. From FY2004 to FY2005, terrorism risk was then determined by an additive formula where risk was the sum of three features: a threat score, a critical infrastructure score and population density.2 Whilst the DHS no longer uses additive formulas, or Aggregated Risk Scoring (ARS) as they are referred to in this paper, they do remain used by others as evidenced by the release of the Crowded Places Self-Assessment Tool (CPSAT) by the Australian Government in 2018.

Aggregated Risk Scoring Aggregated Risk Scoring (ARS) describes any method of assessing risk through the scoring of certain features, typically on an ordinal scale (e.g. on a scale of 1 to 10) which are then added up to obtain an overall score. This overall score may then be matched to predefined risk levels (e.g. if the score is greater than 20 then the risk is â&#x20AC;&#x153;highâ&#x20AC;?). There are many ARS methods out there, but the two many will familiar with in a terrorism context are CARVER, EVIL DONE, and the CPSAT3. ARS provides a way to perform structured assessments using standardised scores or ranks, and there is little doubt it will produce more consistent and reliable assessments compared to unstructured intuitive judgments of risk. The key strength of ARS is its convenience: it is easy to understand and use, with assessors simply needing to read the criteria, score, add and compare. But there are limitations and important questions which need to be acknowledge by any practitioner using or relying on these methods.

SEC URIT Y F E AT URE

How do we know these are the right features or factors to look at?

How reliably does a person score a feature? How subjective is a feature to score?

Most ARS methods provide little explanation as to why they have chosen the features they have in their scoring scheme. In most cases, we simply assume that the features make sense and then accept that they are appropriate. For example, in the case of CARVER, no specific evidence is provided as to why “Criticality”, “Accessibility”, “Recuperability”, “Effect”, and “Recognisability” are the correct features versus any other combination of possible scoring features.

ARS methods do not typically test for the appropriateness of the features they use, and this is perhaps why there are so many variations of ARS methods out there – no one can really agree (or prove) that their set of scoring features are actually the correct features we should be looking at.

One frustration with ARS methods is their use of features which are difficult to objectively measure or define, and therefore introduce a high degree of subjectivity into the scoring process. In the case of CPSAT, whilst some features have a quantifiable and somewhat objective grounding (such as the density of people at a location), other features such as the symbolism of a site and its social importance are highly subjective. With the exception of some major and prominent sites, what is symbolic or considered socially important is inevitably going to vary from person to person. This in turn affects the reliability of ARS methods using such subjective features.

What is the importance of one feature relative to the other features?

Another related issue is that many ARS methods do not explain or account for the importance of features relative to other features. In the case of CARVER, all features are given the same weight, and this assumption has a signifcaint impact on the results. This can of course be addressed through weighting the features, but this weighting in itself requires some evidence to back up its claim as to why one feature is more important than another and by how much.

2 8 SEC UR IT Y IN S IDE R | JU N/ JU L 201 9

Most ARS methods provide little explanation as to why they have chosen the features they have in their scoring scheme. In most cases, we simply assume that the features make sense and then accept that they are appropriate.

How well are these features defined? What exactly is the implication of scoring X and scoring Y? In addition to whether features are innately subjective, there is also an issue with how well ARS methods define their features. The CPSAT asks the assessor to score the density of people at a location between 1 and 7 but does not provide any guidance as to what constitutes a 1 and what constitutes a 7. Quite simply, there is often a lack of a definitive reference point in ARS methods which results in the same situation being given two different scores due to variations in understanding. To ensure reliability in the results, all assessors need to have the same understanding of what a feature means and what scoring it a particular value means versus scoring it another value.

S E C URIT Y FE ATU RE

Are the features independent or do they overlap with one another?

Related to how well the features are defined, one issue encountered in many ARS methods is that the features tend to overlap with each other. For example, in the CPSAT, there is arguably some overlap between whether a location is symbolic and whether it can be considered socially important i.e. a symbolic location will also be socially important. In the case of CARVER, there is arguably overlap between the “Criticality” and “Effect” features of a location i.e. a critical location will always have a large effect. The result of this overlap is that certain features may be double counted in the overall score, distorting the overall result.

How well do ARS methods actually perform?

This final question is perhaps the most important, and yet it is also the one which most try to avoid. There has been no systematic collection of data on how well ARS methods actually perform in identifying targets that are then actually attacked. The most important metric for a method to assess terrorism risk is its false negative rate: how many locations were assessed as being low risk but were then subsequently attacked. For most ARS methods, we have no idea what the false negative rate is. It is possible to perform retrospective testing of ARS methods, that is, where places which have been attacked are assessed using an ARS method. This may be one way to gather data on the performance an ARS method, but this may be difficult to perform without the bias of hindsight affecting the results. The fact that we do not know how ARS methods being used actually perform should be a concern which is front of mind for those who use and rely upon these methods to make critical decisions which impact the safety and security of others.

SEC URIT Y F E AT URE

Organisations dealing with mental health and suicide Answers by Lifeline Australia in BLUE Q. What is the number one thing that family and friends can do for someone in their life struggling with depression?

With anxiety? With thoughts of suicide?

A. They can be open to connecting with them. Family and friends have an important role to play in reducing the isolation that can be experienced by people struggling with thoughts of suicide. At Lifeline we believe that no person should ever have to face their darkest moments alone. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why our crisis support line 13 11 14 is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to offer support to anyone who is struggling or providing to support to someone who is struggling.

Q. When dealing with ongoing depression and/or anxiety, what kind of support can Lifeline offer me? Importantly, how can I make this happen? How can I access this support?

A. Lifeline is available to anyone experiencing emotional distress at any time. You can call our telephone line on 13 11 14 (24 hours a day / 7 days a week) or chat to a crisis supporter through webchat at lifeline.org.au (7pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; midnight / 7 days) Q. What kind of support can Lifeline offer young people struggling with mental health?

A. Lifeline is here for all people in Australia who are struggling.

In Australia last year, twice as many young people died of suicide than on our roads. We have to get the message to young people that they can reach out to Lifeline for help.

Our trained crisis supporters are highly skilled listeners who will talk (or web chat 7 to midnight) to any person who is experiencing emotional distress at any time.

Q. What kind of support can Lifeline offer people living in regional and rural areas struggling with mental health?

A. Lifeline has 40 Centres around Australia and 20 if them are in rural and regional areas. So our community footprint is quite large. The message we want to get to people in rural and regional areas is, when you call Lifeline, your contact is kept confidential. Calls are not answered by your local Centre, they can be answered by a volunteer anywhere around the nation. We have over 10,000 volunteers working around the country to help Australians doing it tough.

Q. What kind of support can Lifeline offer migrants struggling with mental health?

A. Anyone in Australia can contact Lifeline. There is a free interpreting service for people who do not speak English.

To access this service please call 131 450 and speak to TIS in the language required. TIS will then call Lifeline on behalf of the caller. A call to TIS is the cost of a local call from landlines (additional charges apply for mobiles).

Find out more at: tisnational.gov.au

30 SEC U R IT Y IN S IDE R | JU N/ JU L 201 9

Q. What is the greatest challenge that Lifeline is facing?

A. We want to answer every call that comes in to Lifeline, but sometimes in peak service periods, callers hang up before we can get to them. Our challenge is to encourage people to hold on until we can get to them. We are always looking for volunteers to help with this.

Q. What is a fantastic moment or goal that Lifeline has achieved (or is currently undertaking)?

A. This year, we were lucky enough to be a part of the triple j Hottest 100 that enabled us to reach the younger demographic across Australia. Meanwhile, every year, we receive almost a million contacts from people in Australia reaching out for our support.

Q. What projects is Lifeline working toward in the future?

A. We are constantly seeking to reduce call waiting time.

Our digital transformation strategy is all about increasing access to our service by harnessing technology. We are also currently working on a text trial service which we believe will be a game changer in improving accessibility to our service.

Q. What is one thing I can do today to support those in my life?

A. Look out for each other. When you notice a change in behaviour, please check it out. Ask your friend or family member if they are ok? If they are not, know that you can call Lifeline for advice in how best to help them. Or you can ask them to call Lifeline or suggest taking them to a GP. If life is in danger in Australia, please call 000.

Q. What is one thing I can do today to support my own wellbeing?

A. Allow yourself the time to do something you enjoy.

Q. Is there anything you would like to add or expand upon?

A. Thank you for contacting Lifeline with this request. I have attached photos you are welcome to use to accompany the Lifeline components of the story.

National Police Alarm Activation Response Guideline Introduction The National Emergency Communications Working Group – Australia and New Zealand in consultation with the Australian Security Industry Association Limited have developed a National Police Alarm Activation Response Guideline (‘the Guideline’) to align police classification, requirements and response to alarms and alarm activations.

The Guideline provides a framework for: 33National consistency in the way in which Australian policing jurisdictions and security companies who are members of recognised security industry organisations define and respond to alarm activations; 33Processes and procedures for the handling of alarm responses; 33More efficient use of police resources.

33The objectives of the Guideline are to: 33Provide a consistent categorisation of alarm types; 33Provide a consistent alarm activation response priority; 33Identify those alarm types police may not respond to; 33Reduce the number of non-genuine alarm activations that police respond to; 33Define Alarm Monitoring Providers requirements for confirmation of genuine alarm activations.

Alarm Categories and Types 33Alarm category A: Hold Up Alarm – Commercial only; High Risk Premises Alarm; Monitored Personal Safety Alarm;

32 SEC UR IT Y IN S IDE R | JU N/ JU L 201 9

33Alarm category B: Multi-Sector / Multi-Break Alarms; Communication Failure; Single Sector Alarms at High Risk Premises; Duress Alarms; Vehicle Tracking Alarms; 33Alarm category C: Any alarm other than those listed above eg portable wireless devices, including pendants; 33Alarm category D: Multiple Sector Alarms, where there are no ready access to the premises; Single Sector Alarms - Non High Risk Premises; Flashing Blue Lights; Unmonitored Alarms; Vehicle Alarms; Fire or Smoke Sensor alarms; Medical Alarms and Power Failure/Low Battery.

Accredited Alarm Monitoring Provider Under the Guideline, police will respond to requests for assistance from accredited Alarm Monitoring Providers.

For the purpose of this guideline, an accredited Alarm Monitoring Provider is defined as (i) being a current member of a recognised security industry organisation; (ii) complying with Australian Standard 2201.2 (as revised from time to time) monitoring centre certification and (iii) operates a telephone link in its alarm monitoring centre that is capable of showing Caller Line Identification (CLI) to the relevant police jurisdiction’s telephone links.

Alarm systems are required to be maintained in accordance with the Australian Standard 2201.1: Intruder Alarm Systems – client’s premises: design, installation, commissioning and maintenance.
