The NSW Security Industry Act 1997 is a law enacted by the New South Wales (NSW) Government in Australia to regulate the security industry within the state. The Act outlines the licensing requirements and standards for security providers, including security guards, crowd controllers, and private investigators. It also establishes the Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED), which is responsible for overseeing and enforcing compliance with the Act’s provisions. The Act aims to ensure that security services are provided safely, responsibly, and professionally to protect the public and maintain public order.
