Guided Self Assessment Form

The guided self-assessment is designed for owner operators and event organisers of crowded places events. The purpose of the assessment tool is to assist you in identifying the attractiveness of your location to a terrorist attack.

You will need to provide some personal details before accessing the questionnaire so that South Australia Police (SAPOL) can contact you to discuss the assessment of your event if needed.

The self-assessment consists of a series of questions which will provide a score. This will determine whether your location has few, some or many of the characteristics that make your location attractive to a terrorist.

Once you have completed the self-assessment SAPOL will receive notification of your result and may contact you to discuss. The information you provide in your form including contact and event details are delivered to SAPOL unencrypted. You may prefer to contact Security Preparedness, Emergency & Major Event Section using the contact details below.

If you have any questions/concerns about the self-assessment contact Security Preparedness, Emergency & Major Event Section, phone 7322 3622 or email sapol.sacis@police.sa.gov.au.
