The Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED) Advisory Council was established to create a forum for the regular exchange of information and ideas between the security industry and the NSW Police Force on issues relevant to the regulation of the industry.

SLED is seeking nominations from suitably qualified people interested in joining the Council.

A maximum of 10 security industry representatives will be chosen to represent the diversity of the industry for a two-year term until December 2026. Click here to access the SLED Advisory Council information sheet (PDF). Nominations close 18 October 2024. Click here for the nomination form.

Since November 2012, the Council has worked to identify and discuss opportunities to:

  • improve industry compliance with legislative requirements
  • address barriers that hinder industry efforts to improve competence and compliance levels
  • collaborate on initiatives and campaigns targeting, or relating to various industry sectors
  • share feedback about SLED and industry activities.

Industry representatives nominate to be on the council and are elected by the outgoing industry representatives. They serve a two-year membership term and are not eligible for consecutive terms as Council members.

Meetings are held four times a year in February, May, August and November at 2 Dawn Fraser Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park. See more information in the SLED Advisory Council Information Sheet (PDF).

Issue papers on relevant matters may be tabled by Council members and other industry representatives for consideration at Council meetings as agenda items. Papers should be emailed to the Secretariat (sled@police.nsw.gov.au) at least 10 working days prior to the meeting. Please note that papers may be modified by the Secretariat if necessary for clarity and succinctness. Click here for the agenda paper template (Word document).
