NV-1 Security Clearances from the Australian Department of Defence

NV1 stands for Negative Vetting Level 1 clearance. And, as described by the Australian Government’s Department of Defence, the purpose of the security vetting process is to determine whether an individual is suitable to hold a security clearance, meaning, whether they possess and demonstrate an appropriate level of integrity.

Like most organisations, The Federal Government wants the best talent, whether that be their employees or external consultants and advisors.
