Close Protection in Sydney

Close protection in Sydney, on the harbour.

Discreet bodyguard services and secure transport for Ultra-High-Net-Worth individuals and families in Sydney.

Sydney gathers Australian and international wealth around its harbour, its eastern-suburb estates and its waterfront. The work here blends residential and estate security with discreet movement and secure transport in a generally safe city where protection is overwhelmingly unarmed.

Our operatives understand where Sydney's wealth gathers, from Point Piper and Vaucluse to the harbour, and where privacy matters most.

The local picture

A few local realities shape every plan we build in Sydney:

  • Residential and estate security. Harbourfront estates in Point Piper, Vaucluse and Mosman need managed access, staff and perimeters.
  • Privacy and profile. Business and international families expect managed visibility and strong privacy.
  • Waterfront and movement. The harbour, marinas and beaches are high-visibility settings for recognisable guests.
  • Event peaks. New Year, major sporting events and festivals sharpen exposure across the city.

Working within the local rules

Private security in New South Wales is licensed under the Security Industry Act, and firearms are tightly regulated, so close protection in Sydney is overwhelmingly unarmed and built on planning, privacy and secure transport. Our operatives work strictly within that framework.

Arrivals, venues and the places that matter

Most principals arrive through Kingsford Smith, with private aviation. We handle discreet meet-and-greet and the onward transfer to the residence or hotel end to end.

  • Private aviation. Kingsford Smith business-aviation terminals, with discreet meet-and-greet and transfer.
  • Hotels. The Crown, Park Hyatt and Capella, where arrivals are handled with discretion.
  • Residences. Harbourfront estates in Point Piper, Vaucluse and Mosman, with managed access.
  • Waterfront. The harbour, marinas and beaches, handled discreetly.
