What RISE Pacific does

RISE Pacific is an Australian specialist services company operating in the "vertical world" — delivering rope access, rigging, height safety, and rescue services to enterprise clients primarily in New South Wales. The company organizes operations into three core divisions: Rigging (aerial/stunt, entertainment, and industrial), Access (rope access, telecommunications, and geotechnical), and Rescue (safety/rescue standby, emergency response, confined space, and height safety installation/inspection). Its telecommunications work covers installation, maintenance, fault finding, and repair on monopoles, towers, and buildings for clients including Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Huawei, and Visionstream. The technology base is physical and specialized rather than digital, anchored by the Hoeflon C30e 100% electric compact crane (first shipped to Australia in February 2025), a Bauer-powered SCBA filling station for confined space operations, and Broadweigh load monitoring equipment held for hire.

The business operates a multi-revenue-stream model: (1) project-based professional services delivered through direct enterprise field sales via a Request a Quote process, (2) recurring training revenue through RISE Training Academy (trading as Total Height Safety, RTO 91022) delivering nationally recognized RIIWHS204E courses from A$250 and internationally recognized SPRAT rope access certification at A$1,800 per level, and (3) equipment hire including wet hire of the Hoeflon C30e to external industries such as steel erection, public art installations, tree care, glazing, cladding, and masonry. Distribution is domestic (Australia) and conducted through direct sales, an e-commerce shop at rise-au.com, and online training bookings.

RISE Pacific is part of the privately held RISE Group, which encompasses RISE Pacific (specialist services), RISE Equipment (equipment hire), and Total Height Safety (training). The company is led by CEO Clancy Simpson and operates from a headquarters and training centre in Silverwater, NSW (102-104 Beaconsfield St) and an equipment shop in Rouse Hill, NSW (7/593 Withers Rd). The firm maintains ISO 14001 environmental certification alignment with on-site solar capacity, and partnerships with Monitor Industries (Hoeflon), Broadweigh System, SPRAT, and Petzl Professional. No external investment, headcount, or revenue figures are disclosed.
