TodayCorp and Port of Brisbane develop online learning initiative for Maritime Security Identity Card
Announcement posted by TodayCorp Pty Ltd 05 Apr 2006
TodayCorp Pty Ltd, Asia-Pacifics largest online learning, development and recruitment company, today announced that the company has launched Port of Brisbane Corporations online learning program, uniquely designed in preparation and awareness for upcoming changes in legislation pertaining to port security.
Thousands of people throughout Queensland will be using the online learning program to ensure that the Maritime Security Identification Card (MSIC) is correctly identified as being cleared to enter and operate in designated maritime security zones. Port of Brisbane Corporation is the first MSIC issuing body in Australia to approach awareness training via an online learning program.
We were challenged in working with the Port of Brisbane Corporation on what is sure to set a benchmark in security preparedness within the maritime industry, said TodayCorp CEO, Joe Ward.
From 1 January 2007, the Australian Government requires anyone working within the secure areas of a port, ship or offshore oil and gas facility to display the new, nationally recognised identification card (MSIC). Introduced federally by Department of Transport and Regional Services (DOTARS), the card involves a number of background and criminal history checks performed by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).
The timelines set by the Port of Brisbane were ambitious but understandable in light of federal legislation, he added.
