ASIC Renewal
an ASIC is required at ANY airport, large or small, that has regular public transport (RPT) flights. This was not going to be in the original act by the way- it was only inserted after cabinet of the day (2004) directed thus.Therefore an ASIC is needed at Moorabbin because of King island airlines and at essendon because of Sharps. it is not a legal requirement at Jandakot, Bankstown or Archerfield because they don't have RPT.
Moorabbin got away with a unique exception for several years. An ASIC was only required in two blue line marked areas of king Island and the main apron. To to this they had to go through hoops like setting up dedicated CCTV surveillance and having two quite seperate security programmes- one for moorabbin (RPT) and one for moorabbin (GA). Didn't last: OTS finally insisted that they merge the two programmes and declare the entire area of Moorabbin a mandatory ASIC area.
Of course, one would argue that it would be COMMON SENSE to do what moorabbin did and only have ASIC's required in the actual RPT operating area.

Hasherucf,
Whilst your question is not specifically covered in Taxation Ruling TR 95/19
Income tax: airline industry employees - allowances, reimbursements and work-related deductions.
It does say

The basic tests for deductibility of work-related expenses are in subsection 51(1) of the Act. It says:
'All losses and outgoings to the extent to which they are incurred in gaining or producing the assessable income, or are necessarily incurred in carrying on a business for the purpose of gaining or producing such income, shall be allowable deductions except to the extent to which they are losses or outgoings of capital, or of a capital, private or domestic nature, or are incurred in relation to the gaining or production of exempt income.'

Out of curiosity, can I go air side if I have my ASIC, or do I also need a valid reason to be there.

For an initial ASIC application, I applied on the interweb on the Aug 27, posted the documents on Aug 30 from Brisbane and got an email 10 minutes ago saying the ASIC has been approved and is being posted today. Less than 2 weeks from when they would have received the documents until it was posted.
