Within Australia, you are required to have a security license in order to gain employment as a security officer. The licensing process is generally a certification that you have undergone the training required through an approved RTO (Registered Training Organisation) and passed a background and national police clearance check.
It is important to look up the rules and requirements as they apply to your own state and look up information in regards to local security licensing in your area. Each state within Australia has its own licensing requirements, laws and governing practices when it comes to a security officer license.
