SecurityRounded Rectangle: Help Centre:  1800 816 057 On-Line Works Request

Security is a shared responsibility with the monitoring contract being provided under a central contact as are standards and guidelines for system installations and guard response services.  Sites are responsible for the on site maintenance of their system and management of their local site issues.

It is important that your site contact information is kept up to date at all times and corrected when staff are on leave or otherwise not available. 

Good Practice
The school holiday check list notes simple but important points that need to be verified at the commencement of each holiday period. 

Monitoring
The Department has a state wide monitoring contract that monitors most of the security systems around the state and also provides a central point for site contacts and emergency services after hours.
