The short answer
Do you charge travel to send guards to Geelong?
Not for Geelong itself. Geelong and the immediate suburbs are quoted at our standard rates, the same as metropolitan Melbourne. For sites further out on the Bellarine or towards the Surf Coast, any travel component is written into the quote before you accept it. It is never added afterwards.
We supply licensed guards, crowd controllers and overnight mobile patrols across Geelong, Corio, Belmont and the Bellarine, with the same reporting and supervision standards we apply in Melbourne.

The port, the industrial north, and a summer that changes everything
Geelong is really three security markets. The port and the Corio and North Shore industrial precincts generate perimeter, gatehouse and contractor sign-in work that looks much like Melbourne's western corridor — heavy vehicles, scheduled deliveries, and loss that happens at the gate rather than the fence. The city centre and the waterfront generate retail and licensed-venue work. And the Bellarine generates seasonal event and holiday-property work that barely exists in winter.
That seasonality is the thing operators underestimate. From late spring the waterfront event calendar, the summer holiday population and the school-holiday retail peak all arrive together, and they compete for the same pool of endorsed crowd controllers as every event in Melbourne. A Geelong event booked in November is a different proposition to the same event booked in August.
Travel is quoted for Geelong work, and we are straight about why: our officers come from Williams Landing. For a scheduled contract that is absorbed into the roster and the cost is modest. For an urgent same-day callout it is a real constraint, and we will tell you what we can actually do rather than promising a response time the geography does not support.

Geelong security FAQs
Geelong and the immediate suburbs are quoted at standard rates. For sites further out on the Bellarine or toward the Surf Coast, any travel component is written into the quote before you accept it — never added afterwards.
Yes, and summer dates should be locked in early. Foreshore events and festivals across the region compete for the same pool of endorsed crowd controllers, and late bookings are the ones that cannot be filled.
Yes — perimeter patrols, gatehouse control and contractor sign-in for industrial sites around Corio and North Shore, including operations that run outside standard hours.
Yes. Shutdowns are a common Geelong request: extra contractors on site, valuable plant exposed and a gate that suddenly needs manning. We scope those as a fixed-term deployment with a defined start and end.
