Australian Security

What Australian Security does

Australian Security Company (ASC), founded in 1983 and headquartered in Southport, Queensland, is a privately-held integrated security provider operating across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, South East Queensland, Northern NSW, and — via the Total Focus Group network — broader Australia including NSW and VIC. The company delivers a vertically-integrated stack combining electronic security (CCTV, alarm systems, access control), 24/7 back-to-base alarm monitoring from an ASIAL Grade A1 accredited monitoring centre, mobile security patrols (GPS-tracked), and licensed guarding services for static, retail loss prevention, construction, event, and crowd-control deployments. Customer segments span residential, commercial/corporate, retail, healthcare, education, childcare, construction/industrial, events/hospitality, body corporate, and government/council, with named enterprise logos including Colliers, CBRE, Charter Hall, Energex, Blue Care, Ray White, Ausbuild, and Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.

Underlying technology combines third-party CCTV hardware (Hanwha, Hikvision, Dahua, Samsung) on NX Witness VMS with computer-vision analytics for behavioral analysis, face recognition, ANPR, and people tracking, plus alarm video verification workflows that confirm genuine threats before dispatch. Access control integrates Inner Range (including Inception), ICT, SALTO, SMARTair, and Gallagher platforms. The monitoring centre runs on redundant power and licensed-operator 24/7/365 staffing, with 4G/LTE/IP/dual-path communicators feeding events. Lone worker monitoring uses a proprietary P99L GPS device integrated into the same monitoring workflow. The company holds QLD Master Licence 7312, NSW Master Licence 407616587, ASIAL Grade A1 monitoring centre accreditation, and Triple ISO Certification (9001/14001/27001).

ASC's business model blends recurring subscription revenue (monitoring at AUD 45-75/month on 12-36 month contracts), one-time installation fees (AUD 0-1,299), professional services for guarding and patrols, and equipment financing via a 2025 Finlease partnership that bundles hardware, installation, and service into monthly payments. Distribution is sales-led and direct: security consultants perform on-site assessments and tailored quotes, supported by SEO/content marketing, the company's own website quote forms, phone sales, and a Gallagher/Bravehearts charity partnership for community visibility. Pricing is publicly disclosed across three tiers (Basic self-monitored at AUD 0/month, Value at AUD 45/month, Protected at AUD 75/month with free installation).
