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 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.
AusClear exists to simplify the security-clearance process while maintaining strict alignment with Australian Government requirements.
Our focus is to:
remove unnecessary complexity from clearance sponsorship
reduce administrative and compliance risk
support long-term clearance governance
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.
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.
AusClear specialises exclusively in security-clearance sponsorship and governance support across the full clearance life-cycle.
Clearance Sponsorship
AusClear sponsors eligible individuals for Baseline, NV1, and NV2 clearances through the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA). Our structured approach includes eligibility assessment, guidance on disclosure and documentation, and practical support throughout the vetting process, reducing delays and avoidable errors.
Ongoing Compliance and Governance
Clearance obligations extend well beyond initial approval. AusClear provides ongoing support for changes of circumstances, clearance upgrades, revalidations, and awareness of security-incident reporting obligations, ensuring clearances remain valid and compliant over time.
Organisational Compliance 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.
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.
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:
