We specialise in providing safety and security solutions to the most vulnerable people and organisations.
Tailoring interventions to reduce risk, optimize and manage safety for clients, with a particular focus on disrupting family and domestic violence.
With our suite of wearable personal alarms through to our remote assessment capabilities we disrupt technology abuse and empower victims.
Inclusive of all levels of education, we provide support services to ensure the safety, welfare and wellbeing of those students both domestic and international entrusted to our care.
Helping people live life, not just survive.
At Protective Group, we aim to provide people with the confidence to live without fear. Everyone deserves the right to move through life without the worry of having someone physically or emotionally harming them or their loved ones. Unfortunately though, this isn’t the case. The reality is that many individuals and organisations are targeted, threatened and harmed by others on a regular basis.
We’re here to do everything we can to limit this harm and abuse, and to provide effective, reliable safety and security solutions to anyone that needs it, anywhere in Australia.
Through our three core streams – Protective Services, Tek Safe and International Student Care – we’re putting the power back in victims’ and organisations’ hands. By assessing any security-related situation, be it on or offline, we’re able to implement highly specialised techniques to overcome the risk posed, and then work with victims and organisations to develop and carry out individualised safety plans and strategies.
While we may never be able to eradicate safety and security threats from society altogether, we can at least provide confidence and peace of mind to those who need it most.
Delivering the Safer in the Home program across Australia.
As service delivery partner to The Salvation Army Australia since 2016, Protective Group provides assessment and security interventions for hundreds of women and their children experiencing family and domestic violence abuse every year, enabling them to remain living safely in their homes.
We help keep domestic and international students safe 24/7.
By working closely with students placed under our care, we’re able to provide a safe and secure environment to study and socialise in Australia. We even offer a dedicated phone line service and will physically attend to students in need, anytime of the day or night.
We help education providers maintain a safe learning environment.
Across universities, schools and colleges, we assist educational institutions in identifying and overcoming any security risks. This can include training staff on how to respond to an active armed offender, and providing crisis management as the link between a student’s family and school during times of crisis.
We help NGOs provide a safe environment for their clients.
When people need help, the first place they often turn is to a charity or non-government organisation. We work closely with these types of organisations to assess and minimise risks for their clients, and provide a safer home or workplace.
We help family domestic violence services support victims.
Many DV services call on our expertise to help improve victim survivor security. Often this involves a combination of services including risk, safety and lethality assessments, increased home security, implementation of personal safety planning and the provision of our Tek Safe Personal Duress Alarm.
We help government departments with a range of cases.
On both a state and federal level, and for departments covering child protection, police and social security amongst others, we provide assistance via a range of our specialised services. This can include surveillance and investigative work, security and vulnerability assessments and working one-on-one with victims to ensure their security.
We help corporations defend themselves against threats.
Companies large and small across various industries can also be the targets of malicious activities. In these cases, we often assist with investigations, security and vulnerability assessment and planning, security services including Close Personal Protection, and IT and cyber security services through technology surveillance sweeps.
We help keep the homeless and rough sleeping people safe.
Even the most vulnerable and destitute members of our society can be the target of harm and abuse. To help keep homeless people and those sleeping rough safe while living on the street or in temporary accommodation, we work closely with charities and NGOs.
We help lone and shift workers maintain a secure lifestyle.
Due to lone and shift workers’ often isolated working conditions or unusual working hours, they can be targeted by opportunistic perpetrators. To help overcome this and assist workplaces with their legislative obligations, we’re able to provide security services as well as our Tek Safe Personal Duress Alarm to ensure peace of mind that workers are protected with the push of a button.

“So easy to deal with”
ISC was referred to me after hours and to my surprise Mark answered his cell. After introducing myself and the reason for my call he attended our office early the next morning. Marks representation to the authorities on our behalf averted a serious issue which we now manage as a part of our Company Policy. An issue which was extremely confronting to me was dealt with a calm that was extremely reassuring. When it comes to the safety of my staff and students we will always turn to Mark & ISC.
“Changed our lives dramatically”
Having the security system has changed our lives dramatically, not only do we feel safe, we no longer have to peek out windows to see if we are being watched or stalked, and are able to record and playback any previous movement. The installation crew were exceptional, ensuring every angle of the property were covered that the system was easy to use and navigate, and that recorded info could be downloaded easily and efficiently if needed as proof. The install was very tidy and clean with no damage or mess to my property. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
