The Australian Security Industry Awards for Excellence
have been an initiative of the Australian Security
Industry Association Limited (ASIAL) for 21 years.
In 2015, ASIAL partnered with the World Excellence
Awards to bring the global OSPAs program to Australia.
This year, they again shared a prestigious Awards
Ceremony & Dinner at The Westin on 20 October 2016,
in Sydney’s iconic Martin Place.

ASIAL CEO Bryan de Caires congratulated 2016 Security
Awards winners and finalists, and thanked sponsors
and partners of the event.
“This event provides an opportunity for outstanding
performers, whether buyers or suppliers, to be
recognised and their successes to be celebrated,” said
Mr de Caires.
“Congratulations to the winners and finalists and
thank you to all our generous sponsors, including lead
dinner sponsor Security Communication Solutions
International (SCSI), entertainment/centrepiece/
security guard sponsor Access Group Solutions.
“Thanks also go to our Award Category sponsors
Access Group Solutions, Australian Catholic University
(ACU), Australian Security Magazine, Gallagher,
Integracom, the Security Exhibition & Conference,
Security Solutions Magazine, Streamcorp Armoured
and Wilson Security.
“I would like to acknowledge and thank our official
media partners Australian Security Magazine, Govlink,
Security Insider Magazine and Security Solutions
Magazine, and our industry partners the Australian
Information Security Association (AISA), ASIS
International and Security Professionals Australasia.”
“Winning a credible industry award is a valuable
achievement,” said Professor Martin Gill, founder of
the World Excellence Awards (WEA).
“We are all familiar with award schemes around
the world which promote and share excellence;
Pulitzers for writing, Tony awards for Theatre and
Nobel for science. Winning in one of these schemes
is the ultimate accolade, and winners are recognised
worldwide.”
As the OSPAs form part of a global initiative – with
events in Germany, Norway, Poland, Romania the
UK and US – it is the WEA’s intention to enter OSPA
winners into a worldwide OSPA.
