PRIME MINISTER’S VETERANS’ EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM ASIAL was invited to Kiribilli House on 17 November 2016 for the announcement of the Prime Minister’s Veterans’ Employment Program. ASIAL General Manager John Fleming was in attendance.

“Getting a good job, launching a new career, is essential to ensuring our veterans make the most successful transition from the ADF,” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said.

“Our ADF personnel leave the military with unique skills and can make valuable contributions to business. It is in everyone’s interests to recognise the talents of our veterans and encourage the private sector to take advantage of that expertise.”

An information page for veterans will be created on the Government’s jobactive website. Employers uploading job vacancies will have the option to nominate if the position would be suited to a former ADF member.

“All participating businesses will be given the title Veteran Employment Ambassador,” Prime

Minister Turnbull said.

“The excellent work done by small, medium and large businesses employing veterans will be recognised at an annual Prime Minister’s Veterans Employment Annual Awards.

The criteria for the awards will be developed in consultation with the

Industry Advisory Committee.

“Businesses will be encouraged to partner with a local Ex-Service Organisation, such as the RSL and Soldier On, to develop strategies for driving veterans’ employment through an ExService Organisation Industry Partnership Register.”

VICTORIA TO INTRODUCE PORTABLE LONG SERVICE LEAVE SCHEME The Victorian Government announced at the State ALP Conference, held on 14 November 2016, that it is committed to developing a portable long service leave scheme for workers in the community services, security and contract cleaning industries.

The legislation is not expected until next year (or even 2018) as the Government works on how to fund the scheme.

Victorian IR Minister Natalie Hutchins told the conference: "Long service leave arrangements should meet the needs of our modern workplaces – that's why we're taking the steps necessary

8 | DECEMBER 2016 | SECURITY INSIDER

to look after workers and make sure they're not short changed".

The inquiry into portable long service leave schemes only recommended that a feasibility study be carried out on whether portable long service leave should be introduced in the cleaning and the security industries. It did not recommend the development of such a scheme.

ASIAL’s submissions to the inquiry last year warned the committee that an industry based levy was not sustainable for the security industry and would create unnecessary costs for employers.

ASIAL indicated that contributions to the scheme

would not benefit the many casual employees that left the industry before they would be eligible for LSL. Follow us on LinkedIn for more updates as they become available: www.linkedin.com/ company/asial.

3,100+ SECURITY RELATED QUALIFICATIONS CANCELLED The Australian Skills Quality Authority has announced its intention to cancel 3,164 security related qualifications. Members are urged to check whether any of their employees may be affected. Individuals affected should contact their local industry regulator immediately.

Further Peacemakers security qualifications to be cancelled The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) has announced its intention to cancel a further 1,947 security and related qualifications and statements of attainment (SoAs) issued to 1,020 people by Peacemakers Security Pty Ltd (Peacemakers).

ASQA announced in September its intention to cancel 461 qualifications and SoAs issued to 236 individuals by the now-deregistered Peacemakers between March and July 2016.

This latest round of cancellations effects qualifications and SoAs issued between 9 September 2015 and 8 March 2016 ASQA said it cancelled Peacemakers’ registration as a provider of vocational education and training (VET) in July because of “failure to meet the national training standards, particularly the failure to adequately assess the competence of its students”.

ASQA cancels security qualifications issued by Victorian trainer ASQA has also announced its intention to cancel 756 security qualifications issued by former Victorian training provider, Austwide Institute of Training Pty Ltd (Austwide).

The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) investigated

14 | DECEMBER 2016 | SECURITY INSIDER

Austwide and found it to be critically non-compliant with the requirements of the VET Quality Framework.

As a result of this finding, ASQA cancelled the training provider’s registration. Austwide sought a review of the decision in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) however, ASQA’s decision was affirmed and took effect on 26 May. ASQA has examined training and assessment documents obtained from Austwide and found evidence that the organisation did not provide the training and assessment necessary to ensure students had the skills and knowledge required to be awarded a Certificate II in

Security Operations.

As a result ASQA has decided to cancel any Certificate II in Security Operations qualifications issued by Austwide – which also traded as Automotive Management Institute - between 28 April and 26 May this year because it believes the holders of this qualification have not been properly assessed.

In both cases, ASQA said, in announcements released on 11 November 2016: • Strong regulatory action being taken by ASQA in these matters is based on “reliable evidence” that Peacemakers

and Austwide “did not provide legitimate training and assessment of these individuals and was, in fact, operating a system intent on issuing qualifications and SoA’s without providing training or assessment”; • “Behaviour is not the typical ‘non-compliance’ detected by ASQA during its regulatory work, where training organisations are actually providing training and assessment but are not fully meeting their regulatory obligations”; • The actions of Peacemakers and Austwide “damages the standing of Australia’s vocational education and training system and warrants this strong response by the regulator”.

The cancellation of the qualifications is not automatic – individuals have the opportunity to submit evidence and information to ASQA as to why their qualifications should not be cancelled.

However, should ASQA proceed to cancel the qualifications, individuals who still want to obtain a license to work in the security industry will have to regain their qualification through another training provider.

Any students who received a security or related qualification or SoAs from Peacemakers between March and June 2016 or a Certificate II in Security Operations qualification from Austwide between April and May 2016 and has not received a notice – or would like more information - should contact the ASQA Info Line on 1300 701 801 or email qualifications.review@ asqa.gov.au.

PROGRESS MADE ON NATIONAL ALARM RESPONSE GUIDELINES ASIAL has long been an advocate for national standardisation in the handling of alarm activations.

In 2011 the Association initiated dialogue with Emergency Service Organisations across Australia to address the issue through the development of a draft national alarm response protocol.

Whilst progress has been slow, there are encouraging signs that a successful outcome is in sight.

At the recent ASIAL Security Industry Breakfast Briefing in Perth, Western Australia Police Superintendent Lance Martin provided an update on the National Alarm Activation Response Guidelines, currently under final consideration by the Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA) prior to endorsement.

Superintendent Martin explained a review was conducted on how each Australian policing jurisdiction responds to alarm activations.

“Analysis of the processes and policies of each agency identified a level of alignment between agencies and the potential for standardisation,” he said.

“The monitoring of alarms by private service providers is no longer restricted to State, Territory or national boundaries.

“Whilst jurisdictions have had localised engagement with alarm monitoring groups and regulatory bodies, changes in how these alarms are monitored, and police are engaged, has driven the need for national standardisation.”

The National Emergency Communications Working Group – A/NZ (NECWG–A/NZ) has existed since 1995 to discuss coordination of cross jurisdiction response and develop collective positions in relation to emergency communications issues.

NECWG-ANZ commenced formal consultation with ASIAL

16 | DECEMBER 2016 | SECURITY INSIDER

to address standardisation through an agreed national framework. ASIAL supported the principles outlined in the guidelines, which aim to: • Provide a standard categorisation of alarm types • Provide a standard alarm activation response priority • Identify those alarm types police will not respond to • Reduce the number of non-genuine alarm activations that police respond to • Define requirements for confirmation of genuine alarm activations.

“The purpose of this document is to provide a framework for national standards for the way in which Australian policing jurisdictions and registered security companies define and respond to alarm activations,” Superintendent Martin explained.

“Whilst there is some existing alignment between agencies, the adoption of these guidelines will require changes in business processes and categorisation of alarms, and revisions to the configuration of Computer Aided Dispatch and reporting systems in support of such changes.

“Whilst it is not imperative to implement the changes simultaneously, there is a need to coordinate change and manage communication with the security industry representative bodies. The guidelines recommend that this role be managed by the NECWGANZ Police Sub-Committee.”

ASIAL CEO Bryan de Caires has welcomed the progress stating that “the guidelines are evidence that the relationship between police and security is

maturing.”

“With approximately 1.5 million monitored alarms across Australia, the security industry performs an important role in safeguarding the community," Mr de Caires said.

ASIAL is committed to ensuring that monitoring centre operators provide the highest standard of service possible and that police resources are utilised to best effect.

"These guidelines are an important step forward and will help forge a more collaborative relationship between police and the security industry.”

DEVELOPING THE NEXT

GENERATION OF

By Kirsty Jagger, Marketing & Communications Manager, ASIAL

The Government plans to improve Australia’s cyber security by delivering world-leading cyber education and research.

E

ducation Minister Simon Birmingham and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Cyber Security Dan Tehan announced approval for the Academic Centres of Cyber Security Excellence on 8 November 2016, saying cyber security skills are fundamental to Australia’s capability in a connected, technology-enabled world.

The centres will produce workready graduates to increase our cyber security workforce and world-leading research on cyber security as well providing executive education programs for industry and government.

The announcement came as a survey released of Australian millennials found two-thirds had never discussed a career in cyber security at high school.

Mr Tehan said a global survey

18 | DECEMBER 2016 | SECURITY INSIDER

of 18 to 26 year olds had found Australia needed to work harder to encourage young people into cyber security careers.

“There is growing demand for cyber security professionals and it is an exciting and challenging career,” Mr Tehan said.

“Australia also needs talented cyber professionals to help protect our national and business interests online and to encourage innovation.

“The Centres of Excellence extends the Government’s work encouraging young people into cyber careers through the Australia Cyber Security Challenge and Women in Cyber networking event.”

Mr Birmingham said the Government wants to ensure that funding for cyber security is being directed as strategically as possible.

“The Turnbull Government has

committed $3.45 million to help address Australia’s shortage of skilled cyber security professionals via the establishment of Academic Centres of Cyber Security Excellence to ensure they are effectively meeting our country’s future needs,” Mr Birmingham said.

“In an important next step we will also appoint a working group to review the courses currently on offer at universities and the eligibility and selection criteria for establishing the Academic Centres of Cyber Security Excellence.

“Ultimately our Academic Centres of Cyber Security Excellence will help ensure our students are ready to enter the workforce, that we can upskill executives and government professionals and that our research highlights Australia as a leader in the field.”

In addition to approving

CYBER

CYBER SECURITY

the Academic Centres of Cyber Security Excellence, the Government also actioned the following points as part of delivering its $230 million Cyber Security Strategy by: • Appointing Dr Tobias Feakin as Australia's inaugural Ambassador for Cyber Affairs.

• Launching the ASX 100 Cyber Health Check so Australia’s top businesses can benchmark their cyber security performance.

• Referring the relocation of the Australian Cyber Security Centre to the Public Works Committee as the next step in enhancing industry and government collaboration on cyber security.

The consultation phase for the design of the Joint Cyber Security Centres has also begun.

The Joint Cyber Security Centres, formally known as the Joint Cyber Threat Sharing Centres, will be focal points for experts to work together, share information and develop new

CRIME

approaches to cyber security.

Leaders from business, cyber security and government had their first meeting in Sydney in October to develop how the Centres will operate.

The Joint Cyber Security Centres will be centralised information sharing centres that provide up-todate information about the nature and number of cyber threats. A pilot Cyber Security Centre will be based in Brisbane.

Mr Tehan said co-designing the Centres with input from business and academics would improve the final outcome as well as building and enhancing partnerships and knowledge sharing.

“The Australian Government recognises that cyber security is not a job that Government can do alone,” Mr Tehan said.

“That’s why it’s important we work together – government, business and individuals. We are facing the same threats, and often

the same adversaries, and there is much we can learn from each other.

“The annual cost of cybercrime to our economy is estimated at more than $1 billion so it’s important that business plays a role in protecting itself from these risks.

“The Joint Cyber Security Centres will be a valuable resource for business to understand the risks and how their business needs to respond.

“The Centres will enable daily action on cyber security that is responsive to need. By fostering a new depth of trust and information flow we will maximise economic opportunities for the Australian economy but not at the cost of our information, of our competitiveness or our security.

“Government and industry will test the ideas generated through the co-design process in Brisbane.

This will inform the delivery of further centres in key capital cities across Australia.” si

WHAT ARE THE RIGHTS OF

ENTRY OF ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO INSPECT

YOUR SECURITY REGISTERS?

g

By Janet Lazzaro, Senior Associate, Goldrick Farrell Mullan

Security legislation in every State provides enforcement officers with limited rights of entry to premises where security activity is undertaken without notice and without a warrant for the purposes of determining whether there has been compliance with the relevant security legislation or regulations or for generally administering the legislation. The legislation relating to the rights of entry vary from State to State. The New South Wales legislation sets out in detail the rights and limits in relation to entry. Legislation in most of the other States is less detailed.

New South Wales

In New South Wales under section 39I of the Security Industry Act 1997 an enforcement officer is authorised to enter premises without a warrant at any reasonable time for the purposes of determining whether there has been compliance with the Act or the regulations or for generally administering the Act. Section 39K sets out what the enforcement officer is permitted to do if they enter the premises pursuant to section 39I. This includes examining or seizing registers and books etc, making copies or demanding that they be produced. We set out the full list of the enforcement officer’s powers under section 39K below.

However that does not mean that if they enter the premises pursuant to

24 | DECEMBER 2016 | SECURITY INSIDER

section 39I the enforcement officer can ask you unrelated questions.

Under section 39K(f) the enforcement officer may require you to answer any question relating to any registers, books, records or other documents or any other relevant matter but they cannot question you beyond this.

Under section 39Q in order to ask you questions beyond those permitted under section 39K(f) the enforcement officer is required to give you written notice that they wish to do so. You are then entitled to nominate a place and time for the interview. If you fail to nominate the place and time or if the place and time you nominate is not reasonable then the enforcement officer may nominate the place and time.

If you are required to attend for an interview with SLED, you are entitled

to request that a solicitor to attend with you. The purpose of having a solicitor attend is to try and ensure your legal rights are protected.

Powers that can be exercised by enforcement officers on entry 39K Powers that can be exercised by enforcement officers on entry (1) An enforcement officer may, at any premises lawfully entered under this Act for a purpose referred to in section 39I, do any or all of the following: (a) examine any registers, books, records or other documents on the premises, (b) make a copy on the premises of any registers, books, records or other documents and retain that copy, (c) require any person to make a copy on the premises of any registers, books, records or other documents and give that copy to the enforcement officer to

LEGAL

and seize any relevant document.

Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia retain, (d) take such photographs, films, audio, video or other recordings as the enforcement officer considers necessary, (e) require any person to produce any registers, books, records or other documents on the premises, (f) require any person to answer any question relating to any registers, books, records or other documents or any other relevant matter, (g) take any registers, books, records or other documents from the premises for the purposes of copying them, (h) seize any registers, books, records or other documents, or any other thing that the enforcement officer believes on reasonable grounds is connected with an offence against this Act or the regulations.

(2) The power to seize anything connected with an offence includes a power to seize anything that will provide evidence of the commission of an offence.

(3) Any registers, books, records or other documents taken only for the purpose of copying them must be returned when that copying is completed.

Victoria

In Victoria, the holder of a licence or registration required to keep prescribed records (section 134 of the Private Security Act 2004). The licensee must make the records available for inspection by a police officer or an authorised person at any time during normal business hours (reg 48 of the Private Security Regulations). Inspection may only

be for the purposes of monitoring whether the holder of the licence or registration is complying with the Act or the regulations.

In addition, a police officer or authorised person may enter premise where crowd controllers are engaged or retained at any reasonable time, in order to inspect or copy the completed register required to be kept under section 139 to ascertain whether the Act and the regulations are being complied with (ss143; 144;145). Similar to the provisions in NSW and other States, section 153 of the Victorian legislations provides that it is an offence to hinder or obstruct an authorised person or police officer who is exercising any function under the Act.

Tasmania

Under section 38 of the Security and Investigations Agents Act 2002 the director or an authorised person may carry out any investigation necessary to ascertain whether or not an offence under this Act has been, or is being, committed. In carrying out an investigation, the Director or an authorised person or police officer may enter at any reasonable time and require any person to provide any relevant information, including financial and other confidential information, within the period, and in the manner, specified in the requirement; and in any place entered under paragraph gain access to, and take copies of, any relevant documents, including a register maintained under section 35B or 35C;

Queensland, South Australian and Western Australian legislation is far less specific as to how and when entry and inspections can take place.

Legislation in each of these states notes the requirements of security providers to keep registers with prescribed information and state that the registers must be available for inspections by an authorised officer however do not state how and when inspection can take place. In Queensland the relevant provisions are in regulations 18 to 22 of the Security Provides Regulation 2008 which require the security provider to “allow the registers to be inspected”. The South Australian provision is regulation 11 Security and Investigations Industry Regulations 2011 which requires the register to be “readily available for inspection and copying” at the request of an officer.

The Western Australia provision is section 85 of the Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996.

That provision says that the records “must be available for inspection” and “when required by a compliance officer, a licensing officer or a member of the police force”, they must be produced for inspection.

FAMILY VIOLENCE

CAN PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANIES

IMPROVE RESPONSES TO

VICTIMS OF FAMILY VIOLENCE

g

By Dr Diarmaid Harkin, Deakin University and Dr Kate Fitz-Gibbon, Monash University

34 | DECEMBER 2016 | SECURITY INSIDER

FAMILY VIOLENCE

STOP VIOLENCE In an unexpected development, private security companies have been engaging in partnerships with family violence services. In one of the pioneering examples of this collaboration, the Salvation Army has partnered with Protective Group in a large-scale project to provide safety solutions to victims of family violence.

The Safer In The Home project launched in September 2016 and currently operates in Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland. By 2017 and 2018 the project aims to provide services to over 600 clients nationally.

T

he range of services companies like Protective Group provide for victims of family violence include face-to-face ‘risk assessments’, property audits, liaising with police, chaperoning during court procedures, staff training for family violence services and making recommendations for improving safety including the promotion of technology-use and the fortifying of home security.

The introduction of commercial security providers into family violence matters raises questions about the suitability of private

security employees engaging directly with victims. In research published in the UK academic journal Criminology and Criminal Justice, we have explored the potential benefits and risks of private security companies entering this space.

Based on initial impressions provided by the Salvation Army and Safe Futures Foundation, who have partnerships with security companies, there are reasons for cautious optimism that commercial outfits can improve feelings of safety for a particularly vulnerable and under-protected population.

Initial experiences indicate that private security can provide a service that is distinct from what is currently provided by the police and other family violence services.

Research has long identified that police responses to family violence matters can be unsatisfying to victims and that police are often under-resourced to meet the demands of family violence. In Victoria alone, it is estimated that Victoria Police receive a domestic violence related call every two minutes and recorded over 68,000 incidents in 2014. The resultant overstretch on police resources

>

SECURITY INSIDER | DECEMBER 2016 | 35

FAMILY VIOLENCE

can severely restrict their ability to respond suitably.

Moreover, a police investigation can involve the credibility of the victim being challenged. Academic research from around the world has often documented how police can trivialise, minimise, or disbelieve the claims of victims and it has been a long struggle to have domestic violence considered “real policework”.This has prompted many inquiries into how to improve responses for victims, such as the recent Victorian Royal Commission into Family Violence (RCFV).

In the context of the shortcomings of police responses, there are gaps that need to be addressed for the benefit of victims.

Private security companies therefore, may be capable of providing a higher level of attentiveness in responding to victim’s fears. While the police have limited capacity to address victim’s needs beyond responding to ‘000’ calls, private security companies can offer more practical support and implement a variety of security strategies.

In the example of the work of Protective Group, they have drawn upon their former experience as Victoria Police officers and expertise in security to debug homes of malicious surveillance, provide advice on the justice process and suggest interim security solutions.

This includes using 3G Safety Watches and SafeT Cards, which the Safe Futures Foundation informed the RCFV in 2015 had resulted in a “100% deterrence” for perpetrators breaching intervention orders.

Other examples of the work private security can do to improve feelings of safety for victims is to chaperone during court appearances. It has been commonly identified that courts can be a space for distress, intimidation, harassment and further revictimisation for family violence victims. However, if private security can provide escorting services,

such as that provided by Protective Services, this could be an important support for a victim at a critical time of vulnerability.

The responses of private security can also be individually tailored to address the needs of the individual client. As reported by family violence services, the range of unique needs and requirements for addressing the anxieties of victims is enormous.

Some may only require a lock on a door, a gate to be fixed, or a protective door installed. Others may require more substantial support, including the provision of a personal duress alarm, support in making themselves more secure online or basic guidance and advice on the criminal justice process. The needs of victims are highly variable, and compared with the focus of the police on investigation and evidence gathering, private security companies can more closely focus on the basic question: “what can be done to make you feel safe?”

Furthermore, security companies are unlikely to ever challenge the credibility of the client. Once referred to a case by the family violence service, they do not investigate what happened, assign culpability or establish the merits of a complaint. Instead, they are focused on providing advice and security based on the person’s expressed wishes and needs. For victims of family violence, who may have had poor experiences with the criminal justice system, being supported ‘no questions asked’, can be a welcome comfort.

For these reasons our research concludes that there are grounds to be optimistic that private security companies can play a useful role in improving safety for victims of family violence. However, we also recognise there are concerns and risk that arise.

First is the level of competence and appropriateness of private security employees gaining privileged access to victims. The retraumatisation of victims is a major risk and only trusted, competent

and specialised workers should have face-to-face access. Work in this area involves dealing with vulnerable children or adults who are in the midst of trauma and the appropriate checks and balances needs to put in place in terms of which employees can or should have access to victims and their home.

The role of family violence services is crucial to this point. They are the organisations who will vet, screen and play the gatekeeper for private security firms entering this space. It is crucial they hold the companies accountable to high standards and only allow the most competent and trustworthy companies and workers to have access to their clients.

In the case of Protective Group, the Salvation Army have expressed satisfaction with their abilities. For them, this relationship has been built over years of partnership and the willingness of Protective Group to offer a substantial amount of free labour and services over the past three years is part of the reason they feel comfortable with the motives and integrity of their collaboration.

However, with potentially large numbers of companies offering this service or hoping to gain entry to this space, the skills and competency of commercial providers cannot be easily guaranteed. It is also pertinent to raise that the private security industry is male-dominated and many family violence services identify that victims can be particularly uncomfortable with males being the primary responders.

Another concern which emerges is the reliability of the technology provided. With new gadgets and devices entering the market, and with the tendency of some private security firms to over-sell or exaggerate the capability of their products, it is important that poor quality technology is not used with family violence victims. Faulty or

VIOLENCE

36 | DECEMBER 2016 | SECURITY INSIDER

FAMILY VIOLENCE

To date, the family violence services that have engaged in partnership with private security companies have reported being largely satisfied with this type of collaboration. In the case of the Safer In The Home program it will expand over the coming years to have a portfolio of hundreds of clients nationally. inadequate technology that does not align with the expectations of how its users expect it to function can have the dire consequences of aggravating the circumstances of an already vulnerable population or breed a false sense of security.

The final concern relates to the exploitation of the funding of family violence services. Commercial security companies are unlikely to make a lot of money when engaging with family violence services, however there are instances when services may have funds to purchase safety equipment, money available to hire security consultants, or the capacity to co-partner in the application for large government or philanthropic grants. In these circumstances there is scope for companies to exploit, mislead or manipulate family violence services into extracting unjustified costs or charges. With possible financial gain available to security companies there is perhaps scope for the manipulation of government funds, family violence services or even perhaps victims.

Therefore there is a need for caution and vigilance around the integrity and motives of commercial outfits working in this area.

Ultimately, there is nothing to prevent further expansion of private security working with victims of family violence. No specific accreditation or regulation system is yet in place, and accountability for firms largely rests with family violence services and whether they

are happy to support continued partnership.

To date, the family violence services that have engaged in partnership with private security companies have reported being largely satisfied with this type of collaboration. In the case of the Safer In The Home program it will expand over the coming years to have a portfolio of hundreds of clients nationally.

In the near future there is perhaps scope for further private sector involvement in this space. Family violence services will always be seeking government grants or philanthropic donations and if it is value-for-money, they may continue to contract providers. Likewise, there is a small but developing trend of large companies contracting private security firms to support their workers during times of family violence, and perhaps security companies may find it worthwhile to willingly donate free labour and services for the broader social good.

For any firm considering engaging in this field there are several key considerations to be reflected upon.

Are they prepared and equipped to engage with a vulnerable group of people that has vastly different needs than their usual clientele?

And are they willing to build a relationship with family violence services over a long period of time, and be capable of firmly demonstrating a commitment to the work that is not solely motivated by

profit-seeking?

Provided that companies can meet the unique demands of this work, there are clear benefits available for victims of family violence engaging with security experts and empowering them with safety options which have been otherwise previously unavailable.

There is an opportunity here for private security companies to serve a particularly under-protected population.

However, with the vulnerable nature of the clients involved it is paramount that the competency and integrity of providers is rigorously vetted. The price of incompetence is too high. If the suitable checks and balances are in place, it may be that private security can be an important part of an integrated family violence response system.

The broader question then becomes how can a framework be created that mobilises private security involvement on a larger scale whilst creating the suitable barriers to deter and account for the incompetent and unethical?

How can the system be regulated to mitigate the risks, but still encourage valuable collaborations?

It is these questions that shape the need for further research.

These questions will need to be answered swiftly to ensure the long-term viability of socially beneficial partnerships between family violence services and private security companies. si SECURITY INSIDER | DECEMBER 2016 | 37

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

SMALL BUSINESS HEALTH CHECK

g

By Chris Delaney, ASIAL Industrial Relations Advisor

Make time at the beginning of 2017 to give your business a well-needed check-up! If you spend a few minutes now it might just save you a lot of time and money later.

Are you compliant with all Legislation governing your business?

Every business has legal responsibilities e.g. Workplace Legislation, Modern Awards, Workplace Health & Safety and other Insurance, Business registration etc.  Do we know what legislation we are covered by?  Do we meet the requirements of the legislation?  What do we have to do to comply?  Do we hold all required licenses?

Workplace Relations d o Do you ensure that working hours, conditions of employment and rates of pay fully comply with (as a minimum) one of the following?  The relevant Modern Award.  A current legally binding enterprise agreement lodged with and approved by the Fair work Commission.  Do you meet the 10 minimum national employment standards?  Do you have Policies to deal with your legislated responsibilities? e.g.  Fitness for Work 38 | DECEMBER 2016 | SECURITY INSIDER

 Bullying & Harassment  WH&S  Workplace Surveillance  Equal Opportunity  Confidentiality and Competition  Email and Internet and Social Media etc.  Disciplinary Processes and Investigations  Are our employee trained and licensed to do their work?

 Do we have a system to check licenses renewals?

 Do we have the professional Workplace Relations support?

General Business Efficiency There are a number of general areas that are indicators of the level of business efficiency. For example:  Do we always deliver what our clients want?  Is our quality up to standard?  Are our marketing & advertising campaigns well directed?  Are our terms and conditions of business complete and clear?

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

 Are our work methods safe and efficient?  Are our employees properly trained)?  Are we adequately and properly insured?  Do we use / do not use ASIAL effectively?  Do we analyse our complaints by quantity and reason?

 How many customers are we upsetting?  What is this costing us in forgone profits?  How do we remove the cause?  The physical appearance of our people and property will tell much about the standards elsewhere.

Ageing Ageing is an efficiency indicator that should be applied to all areas of the business. For example:  Ageing and less efficient equipment and vehicles.  Old and tired premises.  Service profile - no new/updated services for years.  An outdated attitude to employees.  Obsolete business equipment and systems.  Over-used advertising or marketing procedures.

Risk status Scan every business activity from a risk point of view. For example:  Is the business subject to any special risks (e.g. safety/fraud)?  Has avoidance action been taken (eg insurance, employee supervision/training/audit)?  Have disaster recovery arrangements been organised?  What would happen to the business if we lost our top three customers?  Where would we stand if the landlord did not renew the lease or increased the rent?  Changed the trading terms to our disadvantage?  What if a strategic contractor/supplier went out of business (including principal contractor)?  What if our IT systems failed?  What if a key staff member was no longer available through death, illness or resignation?

Competitiveness The main criteria by which competitiveness may be judged are:  Quality. Do we offer it?  Price. Can we compete and make a profit?  Delivery. Do we deliver what the customer wants?  Innovation and new products. Should we change?

Market Intelligence It is essential to know what is going on elsewhere in the market place.  Who do we compete with for work?  What new developments to products and services are afoot?  Who is offering better products/service?  Who is undercutting?  Who is approaching our customer’s/ employees?  What is the size of the market in which we operate and our market share?  What is the capability of the other main players that affect us?  Should we conduct a review of our product/ services strengths and weaknesses in contrast to our competitors?  What do we have that others do not?  Keep alert to what is happening in the market.

Corporate Image The aim of a corporate image is to attain customer recognition of the company, with the purpose of developing loyalty and company goodwill.

SPOTLIGHT

ON OUR BIGGEST DEAL

AustralianSuper’s recent purchase of a 99-year lease on the NSW electricity transmission system, Ausgrid, marks our biggest ever deal and reinforces the benefits that come from our growing size and scale.

Purchased in consortium with IFM investors, the deal represents a 50.4% interest share in a 99-year lease and will see $16.2 billion released in gross proceeds to the New South Wales Government.

It also gives six million Australians a stake in one of Australia’s leading electricity networks and is a perfect example of the positives that come from the recycling of state owned assets. The additional funds are likely to be used by the NSW Government to fund new infrastructure, while the assets remain in the hands of millions of Australian workers and retirees.

“This all-Australian partnership between the millions of members of

NBN PUSHES FIBRE TO

THE CURB FOR UP TO 700,000 HOMES AND BUSINESSES

g

By Dusty Morrison, National Manager ASP Engagement & Strategy, nbn

NBN

confirmed in September its newest access technology, Fibre-to-the-Curb (FTTC), would be deployed to a potential footprint of up to 700,000 premises across the country.

The company stated FTTC would now be considered for deployment to select premises that had previously been ear-marked for either Fibreto-the-Node (FTTN) or Hybrid-Fibre Coaxial (HFC) in areas served solely by the Optus HFC network. nbn Chief Network Engineering Officer, Peter Ryan, said: "We have tested FTTC over the last year and we're confident we can now deploy the technology in areas where it makes better sense from a customer experience, deployment efficiency and cost perspective. This includes premises in the FTTC footprint that have too high a cost per premises (CPP) and premises served solely by the legacy Optus HFC footprint that are yet to be made ready for service.

"When we consider the advancements we've made in FTTC, combined with the upto-date learnings we have on the Optus HFC network, nbn has confirmed it will deploy FTTC in those areas where the use of the Optus HFC network

42 | DECEMBER 2016 | SECURITY INSIDER

was planned, with the exception of the already launched HFC network in Redcliffe, Queensland.

"The move to FTTC was outlined in the 2017 Corporate Plan where we stated nbn's overall HFC footprint would be between 2.5 and 3.2 million by 2020, with more premises being served by FTTN, Fibre-to-theBuilding (FTTB) and FTTC. These ranges reflect nbn’s flexible and technology-agnostic approach.

“HFC remains a highly valued part of our MTM deployment, however in balancing the requirements to convert Optus’s current network architecture and design to be nbn-ready, and the opportunity to introduce FTTC, makes the new technology compelling in these selected areas.” nbn's goal is to connect all of Australia as quickly and cost effectively as possible, while ensuring upgrade options are available to meet future demand.

CABLING CORNER

How FTTC technology works Fibre-to-the-Curb does what is says on the label – it involves running fibre-optic cables to the street curb, and then using a relatively short run of existing copper twisted pair phone wiring into premises.

The signal over the copper is provided by a small, book-sized “Distribution Point Unit (DPU)” in the existing street pit, which is effectively a tiny version of the DSL DSLAMs that usually sit in a telephone exchange or street node cabinet. The DPU provides a VDSL2 connection to the home, and inside the home there’s a VDSL2 modem much like today’s DSL modems. This can provide broadband speeds of up to 100/40Mbps. Like the other nbn fixed line technology types, voice services on FTTC are provided using Voice over IP technology.

Pushing the boundaries of broadband nbn has also been trialling exciting new broadband technology, G.Fast, which delivers lightning-fast speeds – potentially over 1Gbps – over existing copper lines.

In a lab environment, we have achieved speeds of 970Mbps over a 20m stretch of copper and in a field test we saw speeds of more than 600Mbps on a 100

metre stretch of copper that is more than 20 years old – this is more than five times faster than the maximum speeds most of our Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) end-users currently order. (Of course, these trial speeds are in controlled conditions and may not reflect what phone and internet companies delivering services over the nbn network ultimately provide to end users.)

One of the things that most excites us about G.Fast is the flexibility that it gives us.

We could deploy it in apartment buildings by simply installing new equipment into the basement.

We could supply a group of houses via a FTTC model or even just a single premises if need be. There are numerous options. G.Fast really allows us to remove the need to actually enter premises to deliver ultrafast speeds.

Both the current FTTC technology being deployed and the potential future G.Fast technology provides exciting opportunities for the security industry.

Firstly, with G.Fast we think RSPs could offer end-users a range of product plans, including symmetrical speeds of, for example, 300Mbps download and upload, something that would hold great value for commercial end-users who wanted to have access to extremely fast upload speeds.

Remote monitoring of high definition IP camera surveillance could become more widely available, and both the ability for customers to monitor their own premises and for control rooms to do it for them. With security moving towards taking advantage of the “internet of things”, higher bandwidth connections will help the security industry further in its transition to a fullyconnected era. si
