136: Requirements for provider of aviation security services

You could also call this:

"Rules for people who keep airports and air travel safe"

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

If you want to provide aviation security services at an aerodrome or navigation installation, you must follow the rules. You can only provide these services if you have a current aviation document for the services issued under the Civil Aviation Act 2023, as stated in section 134(b) or (c). This document tells you what you can and cannot do.

You can only do the jobs and tasks that are allowed under the regulations or rules if you have one of these documents. The rules say what jobs and tasks you can do, and you must follow them.

If you work for AvSec, you do not need one of these documents to provide aviation security services, so you can still do your job without one.

  1. No person referred to in section 134(b) or (c), and no person employed or engaged by the person, may provide aviation security services at an aerodrome or, as the case may be, a navigation installation, except in accordance with a current aviation document for the services issued under this Act.

  2. The holder of an aviation document referred to in subsection (1) has only those functions and duties (which may be all or any of the functions and duties of AvSec) that are prescribed under the regulations or rules.
