Company Profile

Eastside Protection has been providing security services to select clients for over twenty-six years. Our Senior Managers are well networked within the industry, being former sworn members of the New South Wales Police with many decades of experience in various security fields. Our staff selection process and high standards equates to superior manpower in comparison with many other security providers.  

Our goal has always been to build a lasting relationship with our clients by maintaining a personalised level of service.  At Eastside Protection you will be able to speak directly to a decision maker and have your request actioned immediately. We believe that this partnering approach, together with our consistently high service levels, will ensure client satisfaction and helps in both building and maintaining our relationships.

Our Quality Management System, compliant to ISO 9001, utilises available technology to meet compliance requirements whilst monitoring the service you receive throughout the working relationship. The effectiveness of our management structure can be measured by the longevity of many of our client relationships, many of which now exceed twenty years.

Our staff is remunerated in accordance with the Security Services Industry Award as a minimum, including all penalties and overtime loadings. We consider our staff to be our most valuable asset and we therefore place staff retention high on our list of objectives. By remunerating our staff appropriately, providing them with the latest security equipment available and ensuring they have the necessary information at hand to fulfil your security requirements, we are able to create a cohesive friendly working environment whilst maximising your asset protection and safety.

Our insurances and compliance documents are available upon request.
