What EON Protection does

EON Protection is a Perth-based, 100% Aboriginal-owned protection services company operating across Australia in mining, defence, government, healthcare, infrastructure, oil and gas, and commercial property. The company is Indigenous Business Integrity Register (IBIR) verified, governed by an Aboriginal Board, and sits as a subsidiary of Weitj Investments under Group CEO Monica Kane and founder/Managing Director Gerry Matera, a Noongar Traditional Landowner. Its offering is organised around four service pillars — Personnel (security staffing, patrols, alarm response, concierge, community liaison officers, mobile patrols across CBDs and remote communities), Training Services (Active Armed Offender, Counter Terrorism, Disrupting Hostile Reconnaissance, Management of Aggressive Behaviour, Corporate Travel Safety, and Emergency Management, supplemented by customisable Virtual Reality scenario training), Risk (data-driven risk identification, mitigation and business continuity planning), and Technology (CCTV surveillance, remote monitoring, virtual patrols, AI-enabled analytics and a 24/7 Control Room) — plus four programs: a Veterans Program, an Aboriginal Liaison Program, Cultural Immersion Workshops and Training, and a RAP Enablement service that helps enterprise clients meet Reconciliation Action Plan and Indigenous Procurement Policy targets. Technology stack includes the proprietary EON SAFE HSE management system, customisable VR training environments, AI-augmented surveillance and the 24/7 Control Room, used to deliver integrated, award-winning protection services.

EON Protection generates revenue primarily through B2B professional services and managed-services contracts with enterprise and government clients, sold via direct enterprise sales across Australia. The go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, with the Aboriginal Employment and Engagement Program and IBIR-verified 100% Aboriginal ownership positioned as a risk-free path for clients to meet IPP and RAP procurement targets — a positioning reinforced by a strategic channel partnership with Wilson Security that delivers joint services to Rio Tinto. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with no publicly disclosed rates; contracts are tailored to each organisation's protection, training, risk and technology needs. Revenue streams span Security Personnel & Protective Services, Training Services, Cultural Immersion Workshops & Training, Risk & Business Continuity Services, and Technology Solutions delivered as managed services. Customer concentration is tilted toward large enterprise and government accounts in resources and infrastructure, with consecutive ASIAL Diversity & Inclusion wins (2024, 2025), Outstanding Security Performance Awards for the Wilson Security/Rio Tinto partnership (2024, 2025), and a Prime Minister's National Veteran Employment Awards finalist spot (2025) supporting the brand in enterprise procurement cycles.

The company's strategic positioning is a dual value proposition — world-class protective services plus genuine, IBIR-verified Indigenous economic empowerment — addressing client pain points around cultural competency, ethical Indigenous procurement (counter-positioned against 'black cladding'), and ESG/RAP reporting outcomes. Named blue-chip clients include Rio Tinto and Wilson Security; the leadership team combines Indigenous governance, ex-military/law enforcement operational leadership (Head of Operations Mark Wilkes-Jones, ex-British Military and British Police), and corporate executives (CEO Hamish Johnston, ex-Oil & Gas/Resources/Defence/Utilities supply chain; CFO Tyrone Moran; Director of Technology & Systems Kyle Owen). The board includes The Hon Ken Wyatt AM (first Indigenous Australian elected to the House of Representatives) and former AFL player Peter Matera, anchoring Indigenous governance credibility and reinforcing the regulatory and reputational differentiation that underpins EON's go-to-market.
