Frequently Asked Questions
What is crowd control?
Crowd control is the management of the movement and behaviour of people at venues and events. Licensed crowd controllers handle entry screening, capacity monitoring, queue management, conflict de-escalation and the removal of patrons where needed. The aim is to keep a venue or event safe and orderly for everyone present.
Do crowd controllers need an RSA in NSW?
Crowd controllers working at licensed venues in NSW are generally required to hold Responsible Service of Alcohol training in addition to their security licence. The RSA covers the rules around serving and supervising patrons where alcohol is involved. Our staff at licensed venues hold current RSA certification alongside their NSW security licence.
What is the difference between a crowd controller and a security guard?
A crowd controller manages the movement and behaviour of people at venues and events, including entry screening and removing patrons where needed, and holds a Class 1C licence. A security guard focuses on protecting people and property through patrols and access control under a Class 1A licence. Many venues use both roles together.
How many crowd controllers do I need?
The number depends on your capacity, the venue layout, whether alcohol is served and your entry points. A common starting point is one crowd controller per 100 patrons, adjusted up for higher-risk events. We confirm the exact figure during a site review so you are neither understaffed nor overpaying.
