Hobart is Tasmania's capital port, handling cargo, cruise ships, fishing fleets and Antarctic and sub-Antarctic research and resupply voyages.
Anyone who needs unescorted access at Hobart, one of Tasmania's four security-regulated ports, must hold a TasPorts Maritime Security Identification Card printed on a TasPorts access card.
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 Hobart, 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 underpins your TasPorts-integrated access card at Hobart and remains valid at every other security regulated port and offshore facility in Australia.
TasPorts allows visitors up to five escorted visits before requiring their own MSIC. Confirm current induction and access-card requirements with TasPorts or your employer before your first visit.
TasPorts confirms Hobart is one of its four Security Regulated Ports and that port users must hold a TasPorts MSIC printed on a TasPorts access card. Read TasPorts' security page.
