The Port of Wyndham, on the Cambridge Gulf in the east Kimberley, is the only security regulated port in the Kimberley. It is vested in the Kimberley Ports Authority, with wharf operations run under lease, and it handles crude oil, live cattle, mined product, scrap metal and maize outbound and diesel, explosives, fertiliser and ammonium nitrate for the mining industry inbound.
Wyndham is security regulated. Kimberley Ports Authority's own Wyndham Port Handbook, version 2.1 of July 2024, states that the Wyndham Port operates its maritime security under the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003, and that all people seeking access to the port's security zones must hold and display a valid MSIC at all times when within the port. An MSIC is required for unmonitored access to a maritime security zone at a security regulated port at least once each year (r. 6.07F(1)), so anyone whose role needs that access must hold one.
ClientView is an Australian Government authorised MSIC issuing body. Apply online, verify your identity at a participating Australia Post outlet in Kununurra or anywhere else in Australia, and we lodge every ready application with AusCheck each business day. Start your application, or see MSIC requirements at other Australian ports.
An MSIC is required by anyone who needs unmonitored access to a maritime security zone at least once each year (r. 6.07F(1)), at an Australian port, on a ship or at an offshore facility. If you work inside the fence line, you almost certainly need one.
Your MSIC is a national card. An MSIC issued by ClientView is valid at the Port of Wyndham and at every other security regulated port and offshore facility in Australia.
Kimberley Ports Authority's Wyndham Port Handbook, version 2.1 of July 2024, is the clearest operator statement of the requirement at any Kimberley port: it states that all people seeking access to the port's Landside Restricted Zone and Waterside Restricted Zone must hold and display a valid MSIC at all times when within the port, and it names the Port Manager as the Port Facility Security Officer. Visitors without a card must show an operational need, carry valid identification and be escorted. Read Kimberley Ports Authority's Wyndham Port Handbook.
The handbook sets out port and security procedures rather than card application routes, so confirm current induction and site access arrangements with Kimberley Ports Authority or your employer before your first visit.
Whichever route you take, the card itself comes from an Australian Government authorised MSIC issuing body rather than from the port. ClientView is one of them: the same card and the same AusCheck background check, one all inclusive price from $479.09 ex GST (ClientView published pricing, as at 18 August 2026), identity verified at a participating Australia Post outlet, and every ready application lodged with AusCheck each business day.
No Australia Post outlet offering the MSIC identity check is confirmed in Wyndham itself. The nearest confirmed outlet is in Kununurra (Australia Post outlet locator, 28 August 2026). The check can be completed at any participating outlet nationally. Current as at 2 September 2026.
Local requirements confirmed against the operator's own published guidance: Kimberley Ports Authority
Four steps. We lodge to AusCheck every business day, so nothing sits in a queue at our end.
Fill out the secure online form. It takes most applicants under an hour once documents are to hand.
Visit any of at least 324 Australia Post outlets that offer the MSIC identity check (Australia Post outlet locator, 27 August 2026), or use your authorised workplace verifier if your employer has one.
Once you are verified we submit your application to the Department of Home Affairs for the mandatory AusCheck background check.
After approval your MSIC is printed and dispatched by registered post to the address you nominate.

A Maritime Security Identification Card shows that you have met the background checking requirements for unmonitored access to a maritime security zone at an Australian port, on a ship or at an offshore facility. It is issued under the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Regulations 2003, made under the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003.
Yes, where your role needs unmonitored access. Kimberley Ports Authority's own Wyndham Port Handbook, version 2.1 of July 2024, states that the Wyndham Port operates its maritime security under the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003, and that all people seeking access to the port's security zones must hold and display a valid MSIC at all times when within the port. An MSIC is required for unmonitored access to a maritime security zone at a security regulated port at least once each year (r. 6.07F(1)).

Proof of identity documents, evidence of your right to work in Australia, a 10 year address history, and an operational need confirming why you require unmonitored access to a maritime security zone at least once each year (r. 6.07F(1)). We tell you exactly what to bring before you go to verify.
A written confirmation, usually from your employer, that your job genuinely requires unmonitored access to a maritime security zone at least once each year (r. 6.07F(1)). Without it an application cannot proceed. On our Silver and Gold levels we help you get it sorted.
No. Any criminal history declaration required for an MSIC is made to AusCheck, not to ClientView. As your issuing body, ClientView does not collect or assess criminal history. AusCheck advises us of the outcome only.
At any participating Australia Post outlet, or through your employer's authorised workplace verifier if there is one on site. At least 324 Australia Post outlets offer the MSIC identity check nationally (Australia Post outlet locator, 27 August 2026). Tell us your postcode and we will point you to the closest, or search our Australia Post verifier locator guide yourself.
