SPA has established the following Advisory Boards:

 

• Education and Certification,
• Government Relations,
• National and International Standards, and
• Ethics and Behavioural Standards.

Through these Boards SPA has initiated a range of projects, including:

• Identification of the courses (specifically tertiary-level) delivering security-specific and security-related qualifications and determining if there is a requirement to develop additional qualifications and courses to meet the needs of the security profession and the broader community.
• Compilation of security-specific and security-related standards to identify gaps in standards and make recommendations.
• Identify and discuss with relevant government and other agencies the role of security in disaster planning and response.
