OUR TEAM
DIRECTORS AND CEO
MPS Company Directors Tracey Mitchell and Karen Bradley have been trailblazers in the Security Vetting industry since the inception of MPS in 2006. Their track record of delivering services in line with political and legislative needs is strong.
MPS understands how to work with stakeholders from all levels of Government to develop comprehensive security vetting processes that not only meet regulatory requirements but also the specific requirements of each entity. Since 2006, we have worked with over 20 different Government Departments and Agencies, each with their own specific requirements and operating environments.
Prior to centralisation of security vetting within AGSVA in 2010, MPS worked closely with these organisations to develop regulatory compliant processes that also met the specific requirements of each entity. This experience enabled them to work closely with AGSVA’s vetting team to develop Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) compliant processes which they have continually improved in collaboration with AGSVA.
MPS is overseen by CEO Amy Hewson, who is based in our head office in Canberra. In 2023 Amy was Highly Commended as Australia’s Most Outstanding in Protective Security for her exceptional leadership delivering security vetting outcomes for AGSVA.
“Amy, your exceptional leadership is seen in your unwavering dedication to women and diverse groups’ needs while maintaining strong business practices. Your ability to harmonise business and personal needs has made MPS a standout, empowering workplace, shown through team-building and individual recognition. You’re a true role model in your field.” – Australian Women in Security Awards 2023
