Security Guards Melbourne FAQ

Are your security guards licensed in Victoria?

Yes. Every guard holds a current Victorian security licence and is police-checked, and we hold a Private Security Business Licence you can verify with the Victoria Police Licensing and Regulation Division at any time.

How quickly can I get a security guard on site?

Usually within hours, not days. We run a 24/7 dispatch team across Melbourne, so for urgent jobs we'll confirm a deployment window the moment you call and get a licensed guard moving fast.

Can I hire a security guard for one day or a short-term event?

Yes. We cover one-off events, short-term cover and ongoing contracts. Tell us the dates and the site, and we'll work out the right number of guards for the job, with no lock-in.

Can I request male or female security guards?

Yes. Tell us what your site or event needs and we'll roster the right team, including female guards for bag checks, change rooms, or events where that matters to your guests.

How much do security guards cost per hour in Melbourne?

Licensed guards in Melbourne usually sit in a set hourly range, with higher rates for nights, weekends and public holidays. The exact figure depends on guard type, shift length and site risk.

Is there a minimum shift length for hiring a security guard?

Most security work has a minimum shift, commonly around four hours, because guards need travel and setup time. We'll always confirm the minimum in your written quote before you commit.

Are your guards insured and police-checked?

Yes. We carry public liability insurance and every officer passes a national police check before their first shift, so your business, your visitors and your assets are properly protected.

Do security guards have the power to detain someone?

Yes, within limits. Under Victorian law a guard can ask someone to leave, refuse entry, and detain a person until police arrive where the law allows. Our guards are trained to know exactly where that line sits.
