FAQs

What is NV1?

NV1 (Negative Vetting Level 1) is a security clearance issued by the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) for roles that require access to sensitive information and secure areas. It is above Baseline and below NV2/PV.

Can MBK sponsor my clearance?

Clearances are sponsored by eligible government entities or approved contractors. We work with your sponsor to coordinate onboarding and rostering once sponsorship is in place.

We confirm active status during onboarding and prior to assignment, and maintain records in line with client and government requirements.
