OTS has been tasked with: the continuing oversight and further development of the

aviation security regime in Australia the implementation of new maritime transport preventive

security arrangements based on the IMO ISPS Code the development of a National Transport Security Strategy

includes land and mass urban transport


Good security is Good security is good business becausegood business because::

the costs of major security incidents far outweigh preventive security costs;

physical assets and data needprotection;

consumer confidence and commercial advantage must be maintained;

Australia must retain its competitive edge as a trading nation;

security is an investment in the future.


Key Security Principles for BusinessKey Security Principles for Business Security is a senior management responsibility. All companies should have security planning committees or

other alternative forums chaired by senior management. Companies need to recognise security issues as soon as

they arise and act quickly to mitigate/reduce security risks. All companies should have designated security officers

with agreed roles and responsibilities. Security officers responsibilities should include the

completion of a security risk assessment and preparation of a preventive security plans.

Preventive security plans should be linked to emergency management and business continuity plans


The National ApproachThe National Approach OTS is working with all transport modes

to ensure a cooperative national approach to transport security

OTS must meet international maritime, aviation and dangerous goods obligations to ensure security for passengers, freight and vehicles

OTS promulgates national consistency in transport security across road, rail and mass urban transit


The National Transport The National Transport Security StrategySecurity Strategy

Transport security costs are primarily the responsibility of the provider of transport services

Transport security measures should be developed and implemented following a properly conducted risk assessment
