I love everything about my job and working here in Central Australia. I get to help people every day, and see the positive effect my work has on the community. My bosses are very good to me and have become like family. Moving to the Northern Territory from Victoria meant I could work more hours and make a lot more money - over twice what I made before. I encourage qualified security guards or people looking for a start to make the move.

Growing up in the UK, I never for one moment thought I would one day work in Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory, but I am so glad that I did, as it has been an amazing experience.

My favourite aspect of the job is that it is always different from day-to-day and that I never know who I am going to meet next. The Management staff are very friendly and helpful and there are plenty of shifts available for you to build up the bank very quickly.

Are you ready to Secure the Centre?

Why it pays to protect in Central Australia.

Big paydays

This kind of money is hard to earn working security in the cities. We need guards willing to work long hours and overtime, and we’ve got the cash to make it worth your while.

Career development

Looking for a career path or new direction? Many of our former guards have moved into police or prison work. For others, being a security guard is a lifelong passion.

Lifestyle perks

During your downtime you can explore the great outdoors, check out local attractions like the wildlife park or golf course, go camping with mates, or enjoy winding down at the pub.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Interested but need to know more? We’ve answered common queries from aspiring and qualified security guards just like you.

No worries! We help new recruits who’ve made the move to the NT with an interstate security licence to apply for something called mutual recognition.

Basically, you fill out an easy form online and NT Licensing approves you for work within a few days. We will be able to walk you through the process and help you with the paperwork if you like.

Sweet as! The mutual recognition scheme now applies to guard licensed in New Zealand. We will help you with the process of getting your credentials transferred to the NT, so you can continue your security career in Central Australia.

Yes you can get your application started today via our online form. We will provide local training for a Cert II in Security Operations to a select number of aspiring guards.

The course takes around 2 weeks to complete (or less if you already have a valid first aid certificate). Keen to get working even quicker? Trainees can get a provisional licence from Licensing NT, meaning you can work a shift or two over the weekends while you get your qualification.
