Sponsoring an existing clearance holder
A clearance holder may have multiple sponsors at varying levels of clearance if required concurrently by different entities.
Sponsoring entities must register interest in a clearance holder if they need to hold a security clearance, even if they are already sponsored by another entity.
Upgrading or downgrading a security clearance
Clearance holders must have the appropriate level of security clearance for their job requirement.
An existing security clearance can be upgraded via myClearance. Where a lower level security clearance is required the Security Officer must remove interest in the security clearance and register interest at the lower level.
Reinstating a security clearance
A security clearance can be reinstated via myClearance, if specific conditions are met. Before submitting a request:
- confirm the current security clearance requirement
- check if a security clearance was granted under a previous name.
The clearance holder will need to notify AGSVA of any changes in personal circumstance, and may need to undergo additional assessments and background checks.
