In today's highly regulated and strategically critical national-security environment, security clearances are not administrative formalities — they are essential enablers. Individuals and organisations operating across defence, intelligence, critical infrastructure, and sensitive government programs must navigate strict sponsorship, vetting, and ongoing compliance requirements.
This process is often complex, opaque, and unforgiving of mistakes.
AusClear was founded in South Australia to address this exact problem: providing clear, structured, and reliable referral and advisory support for those navigating Australia's defence and security-clearance system. While based in South Australia — widely recognised as Australia's Defence State — AusClear operates nationally, supporting clients across all states and territories.
Our Purpose
AusClear exists to simplify the security-clearance process while maintaining strict alignment with Australian Government requirements.
Our focus is to:
- remove unnecessary complexity from the clearance journey
- reduce administrative and compliance risk
- connect individuals with trusted, DISP-accredited clearance sponsors
- support long-term clearance governance and compliance
- deliver consistently high standards of customer service
Security-clearance management should be precise, transparent, and well-governed. AusClear was established to ensure that standard is met.
Strategic Positioning: South Australia, National Reach
South Australia's concentration of naval shipbuilding, aerospace, cyber, and advanced manufacturing programs places it at the centre of Australia's defence ecosystem. AusClear's presence within this environment provides direct insight into the operational and compliance realities faced by defence-aligned industries.
From this base, AusClear supports individuals and organisations nationwide — including Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, and regional Australia — delivering consistent, structured clearance support regardless of location.
Our Referral and Advisory Services
AusClear is a specialist security-clearance referral and advisory service. We do not sponsor clearances directly. Instead, we provide expert guidance and preparation support, then connect clients with our preferred clearance partner — a DISP-accredited organisation authorised to sponsor security clearances through the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA).
This model ensures that every clearance application is sponsored by an accredited entity operating within established government frameworks, whilst AusClear focuses on what we do best: expert advisory, applicant preparation, and ongoing support.
Clearance Referral and Guidance
AusClear supports individuals seeking Baseline, NV1, and NV2 clearances through a structured referral pathway. Our approach includes eligibility assessment, guidance on disclosure and documentation, practical preparation support throughout the vetting process, and referral to our preferred clearance partner for formal sponsorship. This reduces delays, avoidable errors, and uncertainty for applicants.
Ongoing Compliance and Governance
Clearance obligations extend well beyond initial approval. AusClear provides ongoing advisory support for changes of circumstances, clearance upgrades, revalidations, and awareness of security-incident reporting obligations, helping clearance holders remain compliant over time.
Organisational Advisory Support
For organisations operating under DISP and AGSVA requirements, AusClear provides guidance on internal clearance management, governance processes, and ongoing compliance support — particularly valuable for organisations without dedicated in-house security teams.
Individual Applicant Support
For individual applicants, AusClear provides clear, step-by-step guidance tailored to personal circumstances, ensuring applicants understand what is required, why it is required, and how to meet their obligations accurately and confidently.
Fostering a Culture of Security and Accountability
AusClear treats security clearances as an ongoing responsibility, not a one-off transaction. Our services promote proactive disclosure, accurate reporting, and informed compliance — protecting individuals, organisations, and the broader integrity of Australia's national-security framework.
Free Advisory and Knowledge Support
AusClear maintains a publicly accessible knowledge base and free advisory channels to support broader industry understanding. To keep telephone lines available for time-critical matters, non-clients are encouraged to:
- submit enquiries via the AusClear Help Desk
- use the website live-chat facility
- consult the public knowledge base
- email the information team
These services provide obligation-free guidance on eligibility, AGSVA processes, DISP obligations, and general clearance questions.
