Security requirements for events are where most organisers get caught out. The problem usually starts two weeks before gates open, when the bar roster is still fluid, the council wants sign-off, police want the final plan, and nobody has checked whether the people at the door are licensed for the actual duty they're being sent to do. That's when a compliant-looking event can still fail inspection....

Learn the 7 key security requirements for events in NSW, VIC, QLD and ACT, from licensing and RSA to crowd control, risk plans and compliance checklists.

8 Loss Prevention Audit Checklist Essentials

Loss prevention audit checklist work starts with the risk, not the form. A manager notices recurring discrepancies, but the cause remains unclear.

Use this loss prevention audit checklist to assess retail, hospitality, events and construction sites, score risks and prioritise practical remediation.

Threat Assessment Guide: 7 Practical Steps for Safer Events

Threat assessment starts with a practical question: what could happen here, to these people, under these conditions, and what would we do next? On a Wednesday afternoon, that might mean a site supervisor reviewing an unsecured delivery gate at a construction project. For a festival organiser, it might mean checking whether a protest has been announced near the main entrance, whether ticketing systems can fail, or whether crowd movement changes after alcohol service begins....

7 Reliable Property Protection Services

Property protection services are rarely a simple question of putting a guard at the front door. A Sydney pub may need crowd control only during late trading, a construction site may need patrols after the workforce leaves, and a retail centre may need discreet loss prevention while shops are open. The right plan depends on what happens at the property, when it happens, and which state licensing rules apply…...
