We’re in the Business of Protecting Yours

Southern Cross Protection (‘SXP’) is one of Australia’s oldest and best-resourced security organisations. Founded in the 1920’s, we service a variety of clients – from small businesses and residential properties to large corporations and government entities. Our customers also span many industries, including finance, education, health, aged care, retail, property management, transport logistics and critical infrastructure.

Our core business is developing and delivering security solutions, helping to protect our clients, their people and their assets. We do this through offering a range of integrated and stand-alone services, including:

Mobile patrols

Security guards

Loss prevention

Gatehouse operations

Cash logistics

Risk advisory

Private investigations, and Electronic security services

SXP directly employs over 1000 team members, while our extensive subcontractor network sees us engage over 2500 additional security officers (primarily in regional and remote locations). Our teams work 24/7 across various roles, from administrative, management and operational support, to security officers, electronics technicians and private investigators. Currently more than 50 of our direct employees identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples. This is a 5% engagement rate across our team.

In 2020, we became part of the global SIS Group – one of AsiaPacific’s largest publicly-listed security companies, headquartered in India. Whilst SIS has an extensive service delivery reach across several countries, SXP’s focus – and the key to our 100-year tenure as an industry leader - is our local operations, and our long history of protecting Australians and Australian businesses.
