you can't get a security clearance on 'spec' also the cost to the company is minimal since the commonwealth do most the work (i.e. ASIO). at the moment its very difficult to get since only renewals are being done and clearances for essential work. a clearance is not 'portable' it relates to the work requirements of the position only. it does not belong to you. a clearance can take up to 12 months to obtain. agent13 http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
