Metro Guards provides licensed security officers that businesses, properties, and institutions rely on across Melbourne. Every officer we deploy holds a current Victoria Police security licence and operates under our command centre in Caroline Springs, with GPS-verified check-ins and real-time incident reporting on every shift. We hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and CM3 certifications and are a proud ASIAL member, with over 17 years of uninterrupted service across the CBD and suburbs.
A security guard in Melbourne offers access control, incident response, loss prevention, and a deterrent that works before something goes wrong.
The right guard, on the right post, with the right training, changes outcomes: fewer break-ins, faster incident response, less shrinkage, and a safer environment for staff, customers, students, and patients.
We built our reputation on one idea: every client deserves a guard who genuinely cares about the site they are protecting, not just someone filling a shift.
We cover:
Every guard checks in via GPS and NFC checkpoint technology. You always have confirmation of who is on site and when.
Incidents are logged the moment they happen and escalated to our 24/7 command centre, with a report sent to you after every event.
Every guard who shows up at your site is our guard; screened, trained and directly employed. We do not outsource your security to third parties.
All Metro Guards operations comply with ASIAL standards, hold ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification, and meet CM3 contractor compliance requirements.
Metro Guards has protected commercial, retail, industrial, healthcare and education sites across Melbourne.
Every Metro Guards officer holds a current Victoria Police-issued security licence under the Private Security Act 2004 (Vic). Every officer we deploy is a licensed security guard we verify before deployment, and we maintain comprehensive insurance across all operations.
Our guard teams include:
Our security officers work across a wide range of commercial, retail, industrial, healthcare and education environments. Some of the most common include:
Visible deterrence and fast incident response to keep shoppers, staff and tenants safe in high-footfall environments.
Officers are trained to prevent theft and unauthorised access on active sites, after hours, and around the clock.
Officers are trained for the sensitivity of healthcare environments, managing access and protecting staff.
We also provide security services across:
Many Melbourne businesses combine both: a static guard for the highest-risk point of a site, backed by patrol checks across the rest of the property after hours.
A static guard is stationed at a single, fixed post such as a building entrance, a construction gate, or a retail floor. They provide a constant, visible presence at one location.
A mobile patrol officer moves between multiple sites in a vehicle, conducting timed or randomised checks across a wider area.
Our officers follow a structured process on every engagement, from first contact to ongoing supervision.
We visit the site or hold a detailed consultation to understand what you are protecting, the typical risks, and what success looks like for you.
We match a guard with relevant experience and demeanour to your post. A hospital post needs a different person than a warehouse gate.
Every guard receives a post-specific brief covering access points, emergency contacts, escalation procedures, and site protocols before their first shift.
Our command centre operates 24/7. Supervisors conduct scheduled and unannounced site visits, and you receive shift reports.
Where an incident requires it, our officers liaise directly with Victoria Police and provide a full situational briefing to support the response.
Security guard pricing in Melbourne typically ranges from $38 to $75 per hour, depending on shift type, risk level, qualifications required, and whether the role is standard or specialised, such as concierge or loss prevention.
We do not publish fixed rates because a quote without a site assessment is rarely accurate or fair to you. We offer free consultations and provide detailed written quotes with no obligation.
Metro Guards holds current ASIAL membership and ISO-certified quality and environmental management accreditation.
Every guard, every shift, no exceptions. Licences are verified before deployment under the Private Security Act 2004 (Vic).
Every shift is recorded with GPS check-ins, incident logs and shift reports. Documentation is always ready for your review.
We do not outsource or subcontract our work. Every guard is trained and employed directly by Metro Guards.
