Mutual recognition allows your current interstate security licence to be recognised in Tasmania. Mutual recognition only applies to employees and individual agents who hold an equivalent current security licence in another Australian state or territory. Mutual recognition does not apply to an agent body corporate (company) which must apply through the normal application process.
