Security workers protect some of the most important public spaces in Australia — hospitals, major events, shopping centres, transport hubs and government buildings.

But when standards collapse, everyone is put at risk:

• Workers face exploitation and unsafe conditions

• Communities face increased safety risks

• Reputable employers are undercut by dodgy operators

• Taxpayer money is funnelled into unsafe, non-compliant companies

Recent media revelations have exposed serious integrity concerns across the sector, including criminal influence and systemic labour abuse.

This didn’t happen by accident.
Years of weak oversight and outsourced procurement have created the perfect environment for exploitation to thrive.

Safeguard Security is about putting safety, integrity and accountability back at the centre of the industry.
