The ID and Access Centre issues Aviation Security Identification Cards (ASIC) and Access Cards to the employees of companies who provide services at Brisbane Airport.
What is an ASIC?
Anyone that works at Brisbane Airport that has an operational need for unescorted access through security sensitive areas of the airport must have an ASIC. This is a requirement of Australian Aviation Legislation. ASIC cardholders undergo an extensive background check to ensure their suitability to operate in secure areas of the airport.
Which ASIC do I require?
An ASIC can be either red or grey.
- A red ASIC is issued to airport staff who require access to the airside area or airside security zone.
- A grey ASIC is issued to staff working in the departures or arrivals areas of the Terminals, for example a retailer.
