Frequently Asked Questions
Event Security — Common Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most from Melbourne businesses.
Yes. All guards deployed at licensed venues or events with alcohol hold a current Crowd Controller Licence issued by Victoria Police, as required under the Private Security Act 2004.
Our team typically arrives 1–2 hours before patron entry to conduct briefings, establish post positions, test communication equipment, and walk the venue.
We do our best to accommodate urgent requests. For events under 200 people, we can often mobilise within 48–72 hours. Larger events require more lead time for proper planning.
Yes. All deployments of 4 or more guards include a designated Security Supervisor who manages the team, liaises with event organisers, and handles escalations.
Our crowd controllers are trained in Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) awareness and de-escalation techniques. We work closely with venue bar staff to identify at-risk patrons early.
Yes. We cover events across Greater Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, the Mornington Peninsula, and Gippsland. Travel allowances may apply for regional deployments.
You receive a post-event security report including staff attendance records, a chronological incident log, any police incident report numbers, and a debrief note from the Security Supervisor. This is provided within 24 hours of event completion.
For all events with more than 100 attendees, we conduct a venue walk with the event organiser prior to the event date. We map entry/exit points, identify high-risk zones, and finalise post positions to ensure our team is prepared.
