Apex Security Group delivers professional guarding, mobile patrols, CCTV monitoring, and event security to commercial, retail, and corporate clients across Victoria — backed by licenced personnel, a 24/7 operations centre, and average response times under 8 minutes.
From permanent guarding and mobile patrols to CCTV monitoring and event security, Apex delivers licenced, trained professionals and proven technology solutions to protect your people, assets, and premises.
Designed for commercial, retail, and industrial sites that require a consistent, visible security presence. Apex places fully licenced guards — each holding a current Victorian Security Industry Licence — at your premises to deter unauthorised access, control entry points, and respond immediately to any incident. Every post is built around your specific site risks, so you get genuine protection, not just a uniform at the door.
Learn moreA cost-effective alternative to full-time guarding for businesses with large sites, multiple locations, or after-hours exposure. Apex marked patrol vehicles operate across metropolitan Melbourne 24/7, making scheduled and random visits to deter opportunistic threats. Patrol frequencies and routes are built around your site's risk profile, and every visit is verified with a timestamped, photo-confirmed report delivered directly to you.
Learn moreRemote, professional monitoring of your CCTV system from Apex's purpose-built Melbourne operations centre, staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Trained monitoring operators use video analytics software to detect anomalies and trigger immediate response protocols — contacting police, dispatching a patrol, or alerting your nominated contacts. Suitable for existing camera infrastructure or new installations we design and commission for you.
Learn moreEnd-to-end design, supply, installation, and management of electronic access control systems for commercial and corporate premises. Apex handles the full lifecycle — from site risk assessment and system design through to staff induction and ongoing support — giving you precise, auditable control over who enters your building, which floors they can access, and when. All systems integrate with our monitoring centre for real-time visibility.
Learn moreLicenced event security teams for concerts, corporate functions, sporting events, and public gatherings of any scale. Apex works with organisers, venues, and councils during the planning phase to develop crowd management plans and emergency response procedures, then delivers a professional team on the day — from a four-person corporate detail to a multi-guard stadium deployment. You receive a full post-event debrief and incident report.
Learn moreAn independent security risk assessment for commercial, retail, industrial, or corporate sites — conducted by Apex's senior consultants. We identify vulnerabilities across your physical security, people, processes, and technology, model realistic threat scenarios, and evaluate your existing countermeasures. The output is a prioritised remediation roadmap with clear cost-benefit analysis that your team can action without needing to commission further work.
Learn moreLicensed guards, a 24/7 operations centre, and a sub-8-minute metro response time — backed by an ISO 9001 certified quality system that holds us to measurable standards on every deployment.
When an incident occurs, speed determines the outcome. Apex Security Group maintains an average guard response time of under 8 minutes across metropolitan Melbourne — a result of deliberate resourcing, route planning, and a 24/7 operations centre coordinating every deployment in real time. That is a specific, measurable commitment, not a general assurance.
Every one of our 80+ guards holds a current Victorian Security Industry Licence — no exceptions, no exemptions. In an industry where unlicensed operatives remain a genuine liability risk for clients, our blanket compliance means you are never exposed to regulatory or legal risk through the personnel we place on your site.
Apex Security Group is ISO 9001 certified, meaning our service quality is governed by an independently audited management system — not internal promises. From guard briefings and patrol reporting to incident documentation and client communication, every process is defined, measured, and reviewed. You receive consistent, accountable service delivery on every contract.
A selection of recent engagements demonstrating our advisory capabilities.
Challenge
A national homewares retailer with 12 Melbourne stores was experiencing significant stock loss across multiple locations due to organised retail crime. Previous security arrangements had failed to deter well-organised theft groups who had identified gaps in coverage.
Our Approach
Apex conducted a comprehensive shrinkage audit across all 12 sites, identifying peak risk windows and entry/exit vulnerabilities. We deployed a combination of static guarding at four high-risk stores, upgraded CCTV coverage connected to our monitoring centre, and implemented a covert patrol programme at remaining locations. All security staff received retail-specific loss prevention training.
Challenge
The property manager of a premium 28-storey office tower in Collins Street required a complete overhaul of building security following a serious after-hours trespass incident that resulted in a break-in to three tenancies and significant property damage.
Our Approach
Apex completed a full building security assessment and recommended a layered solution: installation of a new access control system across all 28 floors, CCTV upgrades to all lobby, lift, and loading dock areas, 24/7 remote monitoring, and a dedicated concierge-trained security officer on the lobby desk during business hours. A rapid-response agreement with our nearest mobile patrol unit ensured sub-10-minute emergency response capability.
Challenge
A major international design event attracting 18,000 visitors over four days required a fully integrated security solution across six heritage venues in the Melbourne CBD. The event organisers needed a provider who could manage complex multi-site logistics, coordinate with Victoria Police, and maintain the premium experience expected by an international audience.
Our Approach
Apex deployed a 48-person security team across all six venues, with a dedicated operations coordinator on-site at the main venue and radio communication linking all teams to our ops centre. Pre-event planning included detailed crowd flow modelling, emergency evacuation drills at each venue, and a joint briefing with Victoria Police and ambulance services. All guards received an event-specific induction covering venue layouts, VIP protocols, and media management.
We switched to Apex after a series of shoplifting incidents that our previous provider just couldn't get on top of. Within six weeks of Apex taking over our static guarding and CCTV monitoring contract, theft incidents dropped by 61%. Their guards are professional, alert, and actually want to be there. I wouldn't go back.
We run a 24-hour distribution centre and needed a security partner who could match our pace. Apex's mobile patrol team are reliable, professional, and communicate superbly. Their incident reports are thorough and arrive promptly. For the first time, I feel like our overnight operations are genuinely covered.
We've worked with Apex on fourteen events over the past three years, from 200-person corporate dinners to 4,000-person exhibitions. Their event teams are always prepared, always professional, and handle crowd situations with real skill. The pre-event security planning process alone is worth the engagement.
