Apex Security Group provides a full range of licenced security services to commercial, retail, industrial, and corporate clients across Victoria. Whether you require a single guard, a city-wide patrol network, or an end-to-end security programme, every service is backed by our ISO 9001 certified quality management system and a 24/7 Melbourne operations centre.
A trained guard on-site remains one of the most effective deterrents available. Apex's static guarding service places carefully selected, licenced professionals at your premises around the clock or during your highest-risk periods — whether that is a retail centre overnight, a construction site on weekends, or a corporate lobby during business hours. Every Apex guard has completed thorough background screening, holds a current Victorian Security Industry Licence, and undergoes ongoing training in first aid, conflict de-escalation, and emergency response. We build site-specific post orders before deployment and conduct regular supervisor audits to ensure standards are maintained throughout the engagement.
Mobile patrols deliver strong deterrence value at a fraction of the cost of a permanent guard — making them particularly well-suited to warehouses, logistics yards, retail car parks, and businesses operating across several locations. Apex patrol vehicles cover metropolitan Melbourne continuously, day and night, with GPS-tracked movements monitored in real time from our operations centre. Patrol schedules are tailored to your risk profile: you can opt for hourly rounds, nightly checks, or on-demand response. Lock-up and open-up services are available on request, and every patrol is documented with photo-verified reports so you always know exactly what occurred on site.
Cameras alone do not stop incidents — monitored cameras do. Apex's Melbourne operations centre provides continuous, live monitoring of client CCTV feeds across Victoria, with trained security operators reviewing footage in real time rather than relying solely on automated alerts. Our platform incorporates AI-assisted video analytics to flag motion anomalies, loitering, and perimeter breaches the moment they occur, enabling operators to act within seconds. Response protocols are agreed with you in advance: options include direct police liaison, mobile patrol dispatch, PA system activation, or notification of your designated site contacts. We integrate with your existing camera infrastructure or manage a full new system design and installation from the ground up.
Knowing exactly who is on your premises at any given moment is a basic requirement for any serious security programme — and the right access control system makes that achievable without disrupting normal business operations. Apex designs and installs solutions ranging from straightforward card-reader entry systems for small commercial offices to enterprise-grade, multi-site platforms with biometric authentication for high-security environments. We begin with a thorough site assessment and access risk mapping exercise, then design a system that fits your operational requirements and budget. Following installation, we induct your team, establish remote management access, and provide ongoing maintenance and support. All systems can be integrated with your CCTV infrastructure, alarm panels, and HR platforms.
Events introduce a level of security complexity that permanent site guarding does not — crowds, alcohol, unknown attendees, dynamic layouts, and compressed timeframes all create risks that must be anticipated well before the first guest arrives. Apex has provided event security across Victoria since 2011, working with concert promoters, sporting codes, corporate event managers, local councils, and private venues. We join your planning process early, contribute to crowd management and emergency evacuation planning, conduct a pre-event site walk, and brief all deployed personnel on site-specific protocols. On the day, our team manages perimeter access, crowd flow, bag screening, and incident response — with a dedicated supervisor maintaining contact with your event management team throughout.
Before investing in additional guards, cameras, or technology, it is worth understanding precisely where your security programme is failing and why. Apex's senior consultants conduct independent, evidence-based risk assessments that go well beyond a standard checklist walkthrough. We model the threats most relevant to your industry and location, assess how effectively your current countermeasures address them, and identify the gaps that create genuine exposure. The assessment covers physical vulnerabilities — entry points, fencing, lighting, and perimeter design — as well as people and process issues such as guard procedures, staff security awareness, and incident history. A technology gap analysis across CCTV, access control, and alarm systems completes the picture. The final deliverable is a written report with a prioritised action plan, implementation timeline, and cost estimates, giving your management team a clear basis for security investment decisions.
