4. Reimbursement Model

Logi-Tech offers a pathway to recover costs through our "Reimbursement Model":

Logi-Tech will reimburse the cost of the Security Clearance application fee only after the candidate has completed a minimum of thirty (30) consecutive days engaged on a paid contract placement with a Para Bellum Solutions Group client, and provided this occurs within two (2) years of the original clearance application date.

Reimbursement will not be made prior to the completion of the minimum engagement period and is strictly conditional upon successful placement and continued satisfactory performance.

Annual assessment fees will be waived only while the candidate remains actively engaged on a current contract placement facilitated by us.

All roles are subject to availability, employment screening, client approval, security suitability requirements, and operational needs. Placement is not guaranteed, and Logi-Tech makes no representation or warranty that a contract opportunity will be secured.

Eligibility: You must complete a minimum of 30 days on a job contract with a Para Bellum Solutions Group client within two years.
Fee Waiver: For candidates actively on a job contract with us, the $660.00 (incGST) Annual Sponsorship and Assessment fee is waived.
