Thanks, CP - I did not know that. It would seem that the random Auscheck processing time is why my ASIC seems to expire a month early every year.

Very true.. but you can be sure they are not acting alone and will have had at least
some training on where not to go and what not to do as part of the job induction processes by their hiring company. It's part of the ASIC Sponsor's responsibility under the Act.
Many of the larger airports (I won't say all, because I am only familiar with procedures at MEL, SYD, BNE and PER) have site-specific inductions workers doing runway works, mowing the grass etc have to sit through as part of getting an ASIC through them as the Issuer - not that anyone checks that afterwards, but they might... you just never know.
