Tamara joins seven other board members to lead Australia’s peak industry body
Certis Security Australia has today announced Tamara Bayly has been elected to the board of directors of the Australian Security Industry Association Limited (ASIAL). In her current role, Tamara is Certis Security Australia’s Head of Compliance and QMS.
Established in 1969, ASIAL is the peak body for security organisations and professionals in Australia. ASIAL members account for approximately 85 per cent of the Australian security industry, comprising small, medium and large sized operations.
The election for ASIAL’s board was conducted by the Australian Electoral Commission and received twice the number of votes of the previous election. This election also featured the highest number of candidates for all positions, reflecting the strong standing of ASIAL. The new board consists of eight members, five of which were on the previous board including new President, John Gellel (formerly Vice President) and Rachaell Saunders, elected as the new Vice President.
Tamara brings more than 18 years of industry experience to the ASIAL board. A member of our Senior Leadership Team, Tamara possesses extensive knowledge of the security industry, having worked across aviation, protective services, electronics and monitoring. She was previously a subcommittee member for the Australia and New Zealand Standard for Guard and Patrol Security Services and served four years on the NSW Police SLED Advisory Council; as well as a member of ASIAL special interest groups since 2015. Prior to working in the security industry, Tamara was a Police Officer in Queensland. “I’m truly honoured to be elected to the board of directors of ASIAL,” said Bayly. “I’ve been part of the security industry for over 18 years and have seen the work ASIAL does, so am looking forward to being a part of that moving forward. Working alongside my fellow board members, my focus will be to address important issues affecting the security industry so that we can achieve practical and meaningful outcomes that benefit our industry.”
