What is a Security Guard Independent Contractor Agreement?

The Security Guard Independent Contractor Agreement is essential for Australian security companies engaging individual security guards as contractors rather than employees.

The document is particularly relevant when engaging licensed security professionals for various security services including but not limited to static guarding, patrol services, and event security. It includes comprehensive provisions for licensing requirements, service standards, insurance obligations, and operational procedures, while maintaining the flexibility needed in security service delivery. The agreement is structured to protect both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with relevant Australian workplace and security industry regulations.
