Security services agreement, Kingsford Central static guarding
Security services agreement with a roster table and licence checks
A guarding contract is really two promises: that the hours are filled and that the licence behind every hour is current. This agreement puts 154 hours a week in a roster table, credits unfilled shifts rather than invoicing them, and requires an incident report within two hours of the incident ending.

How to adapt this agreement
For mobile patrols instead of static guarding, replace the roster table with a patrol schedule showing the number of passes a night and the window each must fall in, and add electronic patrol tags so completion is provable. For event security, cut the term to the event dates, add crowd controller licence classes and a ratio per patron, and replace the monthly report with a post event debrief. For a residential or office building, drop the retailer duress and loading dock clauses and add after hours access control and visitor management, which is where most of the work actually is.
Which law the terms follow
Security work is licensed state by state, so both the company master licence and each guard's individual licence come from the relevant state regulator, and the contract makes losing either one a ground for immediate termination. Work health and safety duties are shared between the centre as the occupier and the provider as an employer, which is why the induction clause names the evacuation diagram, the warden structure and the duress map. Rates are reviewed against the greater of the Consumer Price Index and any movement in the relevant modern award, so an award increase is passed through rather than absorbed. GST is added at 10 percent on a tax invoice carrying the provider's ABN.
What makes this document work
An unfilled shift is not invoiced
Clause 2.2 credits a late start at 1.5 times the base rate for the time missed and drops an unfilled shift from the invoice entirely. It is the clause that makes the 154 hour roster table a commitment rather than an intention.
Licences are a register, not a reassurance
Clause 3.1 requires a register of every guard rostered to the site with licence number and expiry, given to the centre each quarter, and the monthly report lists every licence expiring in the next 90 days before it becomes a problem.
Two hours, measured from the incident
Clause 4.1 puts the written report in the centre manager's hands within two hours of the incident ending, not the shift ending, and the footage is preserved and marked the same day. A warning callout explains exactly why that difference matters.
Questions people ask
What should a security services agreement include?
The roster in hours, licensing and induction, what guards are and are not there to do, incident reporting and footage, the rates including penalty rates, uniform and equipment, insurance and liability, and how the contract ends. Each of those is a numbered section here.
Do security guards need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Each guard holds a state security licence of the class required for the work, and the company holds a master licence. This agreement names the master licence on the cover and in the signature block and lets the centre end the contract immediately if it lapses.
How quickly should an incident be reported?
Within two hours of the incident ending, which is what clause 4.1 requires, with an immediate phone call for anything involving injury, police, an ambulance or a theft over $500. A report written the next morning loses detail and makes the footage harder to find.
What happens if a guard does not turn up?
The provider fills the hour or does not get paid for it. A shift starting more than 15 minutes late is credited at 1.5 times the base rate for the time missed, an unfilled shift is not invoiced, and the centre manager is told as soon as the provider knows.
Can a centre ask for a particular guard to be removed?
Yes. Clause 3.4 lets the centre ask in writing that a guard not be rostered there again, with reasons, and the provider complies within one shift. The clause also says that request is not treated as a complaint against the guard for any other purpose.
