After more than a decade in operation, the Security Industry Act 2010 is being reviewed to assess whether the legislation remains effective and responsive to the needs of Fiji’s private security industry.
The Fiji Law Reform Commission has officially commenced work on the review in partnership with the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs (MDVA), following Terms of Reference issued by the Acting Attorney-General.
The review aims to examine the current legislative framework governing the private security sector and recommend reforms to ensure the Act remains relevant as industry needs continue to evolve.
FLRC has appointed Ms Ana Rokomokoti as Commissioner for the Review, effective from June 8, 2026. She will lead the review process, including stakeholder consultations and the development of law reform recommendations.
A final report, along with a draft Bill and draft Cabinet Paper, is expected to be submitted to the Acting Attorney-General by September 30, 2026.
The first phase of the review will involve targeted stakeholder consultations on July 9 and 10, with participation from government agencies, industry representatives, security service providers and other relevant stakeholders.
The consultations will focus on identifying key challenges affecting the implementation of the Security Industry Act 2010, gathering views on areas requiring reform, and informing the development of a Discussion Paper for the next stage of the review.
Following the consultations, FLRC and the Commissioner will prepare and publish a Discussion Paper outlining key issues and possible reform options.
The public and stakeholders will then be invited to provide written and oral submissions, with details of the consultation process to be announced by FLRC.
