UK Security Clearence
Hi,
Does anyone know if a UK SC clearance is of any use in Australia? Will it be recognised in any way by the DoD?
Thanks

As he says mate. Basically it doesn't count for much here.

I doubt your SC checks will be worth much as I have CTC Clearance, which is one level up from SC and two up from BC. My CTC isn't recognisable in Australia and is only valid in the UK for 2 years. Mine runs out in November 2006, and as I will be in Oz by then, it definately won't count for anything.
Regards,
Ed

Re: UK Security Clearence
Nope it won't be worth anything beyond showing that you have worked in that type of environment before, if that is the type of work that you are looking for. Hubby has clearance in the UK and had clearance with NATO but it all means nothing here; the security clearance procedure for non-citizens is painful at best so it is just a case of taking the added form filling and irritation whilst waiting for citizenship.
