Security Guards in Sydney
Licensed, uniformed security guards for businesses, sites and venues right across Greater Sydney. From a single overnight guard to a full manned-guarding roster, we put trained personnel on the ground where you need them.
Trained Guards Wherever Your Premises Are
Sydney is a sprawling city, and the security needs of a CBD tower are not the same as a warehouse in the west or a shopfront on the beaches. Excommunicado Security Group supplies licensed security guards across the entire metropolitan area, matching the right officer to the right brief rather than sending whoever happens to be free. Whether you need a reception concierge, an after-hours presence or a fixed post covering a high-traffic entrance, our guards arrive in uniform, on time and properly briefed on your site.
Our core guarding service is detailed on our static security guards page, which covers fixed-post manned guarding and access control in depth. This page is for businesses searching for guards across the wider city and weighing up coverage by area. We deploy locally from multiple bases, which keeps response times short and gives our officers genuine familiarity with the suburbs they work in, from the inner west through to the Hills and the south.
Because we work city-wide, we can scale a contract up or down as your needs change and cover multiple sites under one agreement. If you want a sense of how we operate in a particular area, see our local pages for security in Sydney CBD and security in Parramatta, two of the busiest markets we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do security guards cost in Sydney?
Security guard rates in Sydney vary with the role, the hours required, the day of the week and the level of risk on site. Overnight, weekend and public holiday shifts attract higher rates, and short shifts may carry a minimum call-out. We quote a clear hourly rate after assessing your site, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Are your security guards licensed in NSW?
Yes. Every guard we deploy in Sydney holds a current NSW Security Licence issued under the Security Industry Act, in the class relevant to their duties. We check each licence before a guard starts on your site and we carry full public liability insurance.
Can I hire a security guard at short notice?
Often, yes. We hold a roster of licensed guards across Greater Sydney and can frequently cover same-day or next-day requests where staff are available. Call us on 02 9191 7381 and we will tell you straight away what we can deploy and when.
Do you provide both armed and unarmed guards?
The vast majority of commercial security work in Sydney is carried out by unarmed, uniformed guards, and that is what most clients need. We assess your risk profile and recommend the right approach, with appropriately qualified personnel for any higher-risk requirement.
