Create a future with MSS Security

At MSS Security, we believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn't always equal.

We know that the cost of training and licensing can be a real barrier to starting a new career in security. That's why we've created our Scholarship Program, to remove those barriers and invest in people who are ready to take the first step.

We strongly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to apply.

Whether you're entering the workforce for the first time, returning to work, changing careers or simply looking for a stable future, this scholarship could be your pathway into Australia's security industry.

Why MSS?

Our commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment goes beyond recruitment. Through our Reconciliation Action Plan, dedicated Indigenous Engagement Specialist, cultural awareness training, ongoing engagement with our First Nations employees and recognition of important events such as National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week, we're continuing to build a workplace where people feel respected, supported and able to thrive

We're on a journey, and we're committed to creating meaningful career opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

About the Scholarship

Our fully funded scholarship is designed to remove the financial barriers that can make it difficult to enter the security industry.

Successful applicants will receive:

• A fully funded Certificate II in Security Operations

• A fully funded 12-month Security Licence

• A fully funded First Aid Certificate

• Support to complete licensing and employment paperwork

• Site-specific clearances and qualifications, where required

• Ongoing support as you transition into employment with MSS Security

In return, scholarship recipients commit to a 12-month return of service with MSS Security, giving you the opportunity to build experience, develop your skills and establish a long-term career.

What happens after the scholarship?

The scholarship program takes approximately two weeks to complete, followed by the processing of your qualification and Security Licence.

Once you are qualified and licensed, you'll join the MSS Security team and be paid in accordance with the applicable Security Award for the shifts you work.
