Bunbury, south of Perth, exports alumina, mineral sands and woodchips through its Southern Ports terminal.
At Bunbury, a Type 1 MSIC is required specifically for the land and waterside security zone when a ship is alongside the berth. The wider security-regulated port area is instead covered by a Type 2 Port Access Card, which does not require an MSIC.
ClientView is an Australian Government authorised MSIC issuing body. Apply online in 10 to 15 minutes, verify your identity at a participating Australia Post outlet in Bunbury, and we lodge every ready application with AusCheck each business day. Our measured median time from a complete application to AusCheck lodgement was 1 business day over the 12 months to June 2026. Start your application or read our measured processing times.
Your MSIC is a national card. An MSIC issued by ClientView is valid at Bunbury and at every other security regulated port and offshore facility in Australia.
Confirm with Southern Ports whether your role requires berth-side (Type 1, MSIC) or wider port area (Type 2, Port Access Card) access before your first visit.
Southern Ports states Type 1 access to the Bunbury land and waterside security zone, when a ship is alongside the berth, requires a current MSIC; the broader Type 2 access area does not. Read Southern Ports' Bunbury visitor page.
