Association of Investigators and Security Professionals (AISP)

The association of investigators and security professionals consists of a wide range of service providers in the investigation, process serving, skip tracing, security, crowd control, debt collection, repossession and related fields.

The aims of this Association are:

• To provide leadership, support and information to our members to assist them to conduct their business efficiently and to always remain within the legal constraints imposed upon them by the State and Commonwealth.
• To provide a national network of members who meet the professional standards of our industry and abide by our own Code of Ethics so that enquiries from prospective clients can be referred to our membership with the confidence that the job will be conducted in a professional and ethical manner and with integrity.
• To ensure that the members of this Association execute their duties in a prompt and diligent manner and provide a service of professional quality to the community.

• This Association routinely monitors proposed legislation, reviews existing legislation and appoints representatives to Committees or Groups involved in events or proposals that may affect our profession.

Benefits of Membership:
