Personal Protection · Overview
Protection that is planned, not just present
Real close protection is mostly invisible work. It happens in the planning before you leave the house: checking routes and venues, thinking through who you will meet and where your exposure is highest, and making sure there is a plan if something goes wrong. When the plan is good, the protection on the day looks calm and unremarkable — which is exactly the point.
Our Close Personal Protection (CPP) team has extensive experience in both the private and public sectors. Many of our operatives have spent much of their careers in law enforcement, military Special Forces or counter-terrorism units, in Australia or overseas. Whether you are attending a public event, a private meeting or travelling between sites, they blend into the background so they do not disrupt your routine, while maintaining a high level of security at all times.
Every engagement starts with a risk assessment. Our consultants look at the risks attached to you, your family, your property and your other assets, and prepare a protection plan designed to reduce threats, minimise exposure to harm and keep your environment safe. Because of the nature of this work, we do not publish the detail of our capabilities — contact us for a confidential conversation.

Standards & Training
Trained for the moments that matter
Close protection is a specialised discipline, and in Queensland it is licensed work — bodyguards must hold the appropriate licence under the Security Providers Act 1993. Beyond the licence, our ongoing training program keeps operatives sharp in protection tactics, intermediate impact weapons, unarmed defence and protective driving, so they can make good decisions quickly and under pressure.
Just as important is judgement. A good bodyguard is not aggressive or theatrical; they are calm, observant and quietly in control. They notice the person who does not fit, the exit that has been blocked, the car that has passed twice. They know when to step in and when to simply move you on. For clients who value privacy, our operatives dress and behave to suit the setting — a boardroom, a wedding or a family outing.

Personal Protection FAQs

Call 1300 792 800Do I need a bodyguard?
If you are facing a specific threat, attending a high-profile event, hosting a well-known guest, travelling with valuables or going through a period of personal risk, professional protection can make a real difference. We will give you an honest assessment — sometimes the right answer is a lighter-touch measure.
Are your bodyguards licensed?
Yes. Our operatives hold the appropriate Queensland licences under the Security Providers Act and are police-checked. Many have backgrounds in law enforcement or the military.
Will a bodyguard be obvious?
Only if you want them to be. Most clients prefer low-profile protection, so our operatives dress and behave to suit the setting and stay out of the way while remaining alert.
Can I book protection for just a few hours?
Yes. We provide protection for single appointments, events and short visits, as well as ongoing and long-term arrangements.
Do you provide protection outside Brisbane?
We provide close protection across South East Queensland and can support clients travelling interstate. Talk to us about your itinerary.
How is my information kept private?
Every engagement is confidential. We do not disclose who we protect, their schedules or the detail of our methods, and our team is briefed only on what they need to know.
