MEDIA RELEASE – For Immediate Release, Wednesday 10 June 2009

New National Electronic Security Industry association – AMCA

The Alarm Monitoring Centre Association (AMCA) is pleased to announce its official launch today, an exciting step in the evolution of the industry in Australia, as AMCA is the only national industry association which is dedicated to the specific interests of the Electronic Security Industry. The AMCA was formed with the purpose of representing, promoting and enhancing the growth and professional development of the industry.

The AMCA is an association, which has been created by enthusiastic industry participants and is run by its members for its members. The AMCA will be working to increase awareness of licensing, legislation and regulations for the Electronic Security Industry.

The AMCA is creating an environment where all members have an equal opportunity and input to enhance the industry that they are passionate about. Every member is encouraged to contribute through regular state based branch meetings, where their voice will be heard and all member contributions will be treated equally.

The AMCA is focused on Electronic Security Industry legislation and standards and has forged a partnership with SCI-QUAL International, an internationally recognised independent Certification body, to provide industry leading Monitoring Centre Certification. A partnership of such quality and independence is something that has never been offered before in the Electronic Security Industry and is a sign of the AMCA’s commitment to remain independent and act only in its member’s best interests. The AMCA has applications pending and in progress to become a recognised industry organisation in both NSW and Victoria. Approval will be sought in other states, when required.

The AMCA offers a fresh alternative to existing associations and one that encourages member input at all levels. Further to this, a dedicated web based forum has been created where all members are encouraged to contribute, create discussion topics and provide assistance and advice for mutual benefit.

To promote the launch of the AMCA, the first state branch meeting will be held in Victoria on the 23rd of June 2009. We invite security industry participants to attend and contribute to your industry through the AMCA.
