If people, stock or equipment at your Perth site are exposed to theft, trespass or anti-social behaviour, a static security guard puts a licensed person on the premises to control who comes in, watch what happens and act when something goes wrong. AustGuard provides WA-licensed static guards from our Wangara base, rostered 24/7 around your opening hours and your real risks.
What a static security guard does at your site
- Controls access: checks ID, signs in visitors, contractors and deliveries, and turns away people who should not be there.
- Patrols the building, car park and perimeter on foot, at times that suit the site.
- Monitors CCTV and responds to what it shows.
- Supervises car parks and loading areas, including directing vehicles.
- Opens, closes and locks up at agreed times, checking doors, windows and gates.
- Responds to alarms and investigates disturbances, calling police or emergency services when needed.
- Assists with emergency evacuations.
- Logs incidents and visitors, and gives you a written record.
Who static guards suit in Perth
A guard on site is the right choice when you need a presence at all times, not just occasional checks. Typical Perth sites include:
- Offices and business parks in the CBD and suburbs that need after-hours access control and visitor management.
- Apartment buildings and body corporates dealing with lobby access, car park security and anti-social behaviour.
- Shopping centre and commercial car parks.
- Medical and professional suites that want a calm, visible point of contact.
Building sites and industrial yards have different risks, so they have their own pages: construction site security and warehouse and industrial security.
Static guard or mobile patrol?
If you only need someone to check the site now and then, mobile security patrols cost less. If you need continuous cover, or control over who enters, you need a guard. Many sites use both: a guard during trading hours and patrols overnight.

How static guarding is priced
The cost of a static guard depends on the hours, the number of guards, the length of each shift and the time of day, because nights, weekends and public holidays cost more. After the free site assessment we give you a written quote, so there are no surprises.

Frequently asked questions
How many static guards will my site need?
It depends on how many entrances you have, your opening hours and your past incidents. One guard at the main entrance is common for a small office. Larger sites need several guards or a mix with patrols. We decide this during the free site assessment, not before.
What does a static guard do on a typical shift?
They check in visitors, patrol on foot, monitor CCTV and log what happens. If something goes wrong they follow the procedure you have agreed, such as calling police, contacting your nominated person, or both.
How much does a static guard cost in Perth?
The cost depends on the hours, the number of guards, the length of each shift and the time of day. We give you a written quote after a free site assessment, so there are no surprises.
Can a guard cover nights, weekends and public holidays?
Yes. AustGuard operates 24/7, so we roster guards around the hours your site is most exposed, including nights, weekends and public holidays.
Should I choose a static guard or mobile patrols?
Choose a guard if you need someone on site continuously to control access, supervise visitors or deter crime at all times. Choose mobile patrols if occasional visits at irregular times give enough cover. Many Perth sites combine the two, and we recommend the mix after the assessment.
