The Port of Melbourne is Australia's largest container port and a critical national freight hub, with extensive road and rail connections moving containers, motor vehicles and bulk cargo.
Anyone requiring unescorted access to a maritime security zone at Melbourne must hold a valid MSIC, including stevedores, container terminal staff, truck drivers, rail crew, marine crew, agents and contractors.
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 anywhere in Melbourne, and we lodge every ready application with AusCheck each business day. Our measured median AusCheck clearance was 2 days 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 the Port of Melbourne and at every other security regulated port and offshore facility in Australia.
Terminal operators at Melbourne may require local safety inductions, vehicle registration or booking arrangements in addition to your MSIC, particularly for regular commercial vehicle access. Confirm current local requirements with the terminal operator or your employer before your first visit.
