  • Licensing body: Installing security hardware is not a named licence class in Tasmania. The security activities defined in the Security and Investigations Agents Act 2002 cover patrolling and guarding by physical or electronic means, bodyguard work and training in those activities, and do not extend to the trade of installing alarm or security equipment. No installer class appears among the licences the regulator lists. This rests on the absence of a class rather than on a stated exclusion.

What contracts commonly ask for

Principals and head contractors set their own insurance requirements, and those are frequently higher than a licence condition. The requirement that binds is the higher of the two, and both have to be read from the actual document.

What this cover costs

This site publishes no cost benchmark for this cover. A benchmark needs a real sample of documents, and none is published until the sample is large enough to compute a median honestly. A benchmark from a handful of policies is a guess with a decimal point.
