ABOUT
Our History
Mitchell Personnel Solutions (MPS) was established on 14 February 2006 by two business partners, Tracey Mitchell and Karen Bradley. Tracey and Karen have been trailblazers in the Security Vetting industry since the inception of MPS. Their track record of delivering services in line with the political and legislative needs is strong.
Our motto is ‘Exceeding Expectations’. Tracey and Karen decided on Australia’s largest bird of prey, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle, to represent MPS. With exceptional powers of flight and sight, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle have the ability to see the big picture and minute detail. Exceeding Expectations is our motto and philosophy and is embedded in the foundations of MPS.
MPS has worked 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 the centralisation of security vetting within the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGVSA) 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.
