Security Clearances:

In Defence, all personnel security clearances are national security clearances and require Australian citizenship. All those above RESTRICTED are Designated Security Assessment Positions (DSAPs). The four levels of personnel security clearances are:

  1. a) BASELINE, entails screening to permit ongoing access to Australian Government resources security classified at the RESTRICTED and PROTECTED level. This is the mandatory minimum clearance for Defence civilians and Defence contractors;
  2. b) NEGATIVE VETTING – LEVEL 1 (NVL1), a suitability assessment that permits ongoing access to RESTRICTED, PROTECTED, HIGHLY PROTECTED, CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET information and assets. The suitability assessment includes BASELINE plus additional suitability checks;
  3. c) NEGATIVE VETTING – LEVEL 2 (NVL2), a background investigation that permits ongoing access to RESTRICTED, PROTECTED, HIGHLY PROTECTED, CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET and TOP SECRET information and assets. The investigation includes BASELINE plus additional suitability checks as well as background interviews;
 
  1. d) TOP SECRET POSITIVE VETTING (TSPV) – permits access
    to resources at all classification levels, including certain types of caveated
    and codeword information, and usually relates to employment in an Australian
    Intelligence Community agency. TSPV clearances must be approved
    by the appropriate authority.
