You definitely can, however the process may vary depending on where you’re coming from and moving to. Security licences are regulated at the state and territory level, meaning transferring a licence between states requires approval from the new state’s regulatory body.If you’ve completed Certificate II or Certificate III in Security Operations, these are nationally recognised. So, your qualifications are relevant in every state – it’s just the licensing requirements that may vary.
