Licensed Security Provider Across Melbourne and Victoria

Security guarding, mobile patrols, retail and construction site security, concierge and event security.

Every service is scoped around your site, your hours and the risks that actually worry you, not a package applied to every location.

Most businesses call a security company on the wrong day

A shopfront forced overnight. A contractor on a site that should have been locked. An event that outsold its gate plan. By then the question is not whether you have security, but what your provider does in the ninety seconds after, and whether anyone wrote that down.

​

A camera identifies activity. A plan says what happens next. So we start with your site, not a package: access points walked, exposure hours mapped, duties, reporting and escalation written in before anyone deploys. That settles the model, whether that is static guarding for continuous presence, mobile patrols for after-hours checks and lock-up verification, or both.

Our security services in Melbourne

Mobile patrols

Vehicle patrol

Scheduled or randomised vehicle and foot patrols support after-hours protection, lock-up checks, alarm response and visible deterrence.

Event/Community security

Security planning and appropriately licensed personnel support entry, egress, venue operations and crowd-related risks, subject to confirmed licence activities. CATTO keeps the same officers on the same sites, so they get to know the local community they look after.

Industries and environments we support

CATTO works across shopping centres, retail stores, corporate buildings, events, bars, nightclubs, schools, industrial sites and community settings. The final scope for any location depends on the duties, operating conditions, required licence activity and current service availability.

​

For clients comparing security companies in Melbourne, the most useful next step is to identify the problem that must be controlled: continuous on-site presence, periodic after-hours checks, retail loss prevention, construction access, event operations or another defined requirement.
