The Maritime Security Identification Card (MSIC) is a nationally recognised identity card which identifies the holder as a person who has met the necessary background requirements to work in a maritime security zone. It shows that the holder has met the minimum security requirements to work unescorted or unmonitored in a maritime security zone and is not considered a threat to maritime security.
To ensure your application is processed within sufficient time before expiry we recommend all applicants, both new and existing card holders, allow sufficient time for processing. Background checks are coordinated by AusCheck and can take up to six weeks to process, even if an applicant has help an MSIC previously. There is no limit for how early you can submit a new MSIC application.
Appointments available Monday to Friday between 8:00am and 2:30pm. For information or assistance regarding the MSIC application process please email or phone the GPC's Security, Induction and MSIC Office on 07 4976 1270.
