You definitely can, however the process may vary depending on where you’re coming from and moving to. Security licences are regulated at the state and territory level, meaning transferring a licence between states requires approval from the new state’s regulatory body.If you’ve completed Certificate II or Certificate III in Security Operations, these are nationally recognised.
