Security Industry Regulation 2003 (ACT)

The Security Industry Regulation 2003 was made under the Security Industry Act 2003 and was subject to a recent amendment by the Security Industry Amendment Regulation 2021 (No 1). The court was required to interpret the meaning of the term "employee" as it appears in section 12 of the Security Industry Act 2003. The court found that the term "employee" in section 12 of the Act refers to a person who is employed by an employer in a business that carries on a security activity. The court also found that the term "employee" in section 12 of the Act does not include a person who is employed by an employer in a business that does not carry on a security activity. The court's decision has implications for the interpretation of other provisions in the Act that refer to the term "employee". The court's decision may also have implications for the interpretation of the term "employee" in other legislation that makes reference to the Security Industry Act 2003.
