Working as a security guard? Make sure you’re also keeping an eye on your minimum pay rates.

Under the Security Services Award, Level 1 security officers are paid $22.84 per hour (for full-time and part-time employees) and $28.55 per hour (for casuals).

Depending on your duties and responsibilities you may come under another level of the award and get different pay rates. There’s also extra pay for working nights, on the weekend, public holidays and overtime.

Use our Pay Calculator to investigate your wage rates: https://calculate.fairwork.gov.au/findyouraward

Remember, if there’s a registered agreement in your workplace, pay rates may be different, but the base rate can’t be less than rate of pay in the relevant award for your work.

Did you know there’s a specific way you’re supposed to wear your security licence while you’re working? It needs to be clearly visible and:

o attached to your outer clothing
o worn at or above the level of your waist
o worn at the front or side of your body
o attached with the front face of the licence clearly visible to a person standing in front of you
o not covered by any object or material.

Do you wear your licence card for every security shift? Well done! All Class 1 and Class 2 security operatives must wear their licence card while carrying out security activities.
