This grant program was created to provide schools and pre-schools, with grants of up to $1 million for crime prevention initiatives aimed at reducing crime, violence, anti-social behaviour and/or other security risks driven by racial and/or religious intolerance.
Project activities can include Infrastructure activities, such as installing:
- fixed or mobile CCTV camera
- security lighting
- fencing and gates
- bollards

Our Operators can perform a virtual walk through of the site in accordance with a schedule, or as the result of an alarm, allowing for greater visibility of the site, assisting to contribute to our client’s environmental objectives, whilst delivering real cost savings.
Gippsafe Security can install, maintain, or upgrade Electronic Surveillance, Access Control and Alarm Systems. These systems are cost effective networks of integrated devices that work to manage and monitor access to a specific area(s) or buildings.

This is a process that involves our qualified risk managers working with our corporate clients to continually identify and map security threats, implement strategies, and allocate the necessary resources to mitigate or remove the threat.
