President's Message

Welcome to the web page of the Association of Investigators & Security Professionals (incorporating the Association of Private Detectives). The association consists of a wide range of service providers in the investigation, process serving, skip tracing, security, crowd control, debt collection, repossession and related fields.

For 45 years the Association has provided valuable support to members through networking, professional development, and as an advocate with the regulatory authorities.

We welcome both current and prospective members of the Association as well as members of the community and prospective clients to peruse the various areas of interest on our website. Guests are welcome at our meetings, so if you are working in this industry, or just interested, please contact our Secretary for details of our next meeting - it could be an important step in your career, providing you with an opportunity to meet high calibre guest speakers and network with members.

Please visit our download page to download our AISP brochure and a Membership Application form.

A visit to our Supporters page will provide you with details of a special offer to all our members in respect to an Insurance Proposal for Professional Indemnity/Public Liability/Fidelity Guarantee insurance.

Murray Bickerdike - President of the AISP

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:

  • All financial Members of the Association are entitled to receive and display a Membership Certificate and a Code of Ethics Certificate.
  • The endorsement of the AISP enhances public trust in members and adds weight to professional reputations.
  • It is now a requirement for all investigator business licence holders to either belong to a Recognised Industry Organisation and complete 12 points of Professional Development each year, or undertake additional certificate level training. AISP is approved by Victoria Police as a Recognised Industry Organisation. As AISP is locally based we are focused on the needs of Victorian investigators and we ensure membership fees are kept as low as possible.
  • The association actively promotes the services of its members to potential clients through advertising in the physical and electronic Yellow Pages and in the Law Institute Diary - steering clients directly to you through our web site member search facility.
  • The committee and wider membership is always available to assist others with queries whether you are new to the industry, or experienced but seeking advice about an area outside your normal field of expertise.

We hold regular lunch meetings throughout the year, which are ideal occasions to exchange ideas and information and to establish networks with other members.

We arrange for guest speakers to address the members on topics of relevance to each individual section of our membership. This lunch meeting forum provides access to the membership to people who are often making the decisions on our futures.

The Executive Committee of the AISP serves in a voluntary capacity and consists of Investigators, Process Servers, Security Consultants and a Justice of the Peace.
