Australian International Beer Awards: StateGuard Event Security Support

The Australian International Beer Awards brings together breweries, industry professionals and guests from Australia and around the world. Events of this scale require professional personnel who understand how to operate in busy environments while maintaining a safe and well-managed experience.

StateGuard has supported major events and functions where professional security personnel are required, including events involving alcohol as well as alcohol-free functions. Our teams are trained to work across different event environments, from smaller functions through to larger national and international events.

Supporting Large and International Events

The Australian International Beer Awards is an internationally recognised brewing competition conducted by the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria. The 2018 awards attracted entries from breweries across Australia and overseas, with judging held at Melbourne Showgrounds and the awards presentation forming part of Good Beer Week in Melbourne.

For event organisers, an international event requires more than simply having security personnel present. Teams need to understand the environment, work professionally with guests and staff, and adapt to the requirements of the event.

StateGuard's approach is built around professional personnel, clear communication and security planning suited to the event environment.

Event Security Where Alcohol Is Served

Events involving alcohol can create different operational considerations compared with alcohol-free functions. Security personnel need to maintain a professional presence while supporting the overall event experience.

StateGuard personnel are trained to work across a range of event environments, including functions where alcohol is served. The objective is to provide a professional security presence that supports event organisers, venue teams, guests and the smooth operation of the event.

Security requirements are assessed according to the type of event, venue, expected attendance, operating environment and identified risks.

Professional Security Personnel for Events

Every event is different. A corporate function, awards presentation, sporting event or large public gathering can require a different security approach.

StateGuard provides professional event security services that can be scaled around the needs of the engagement. Depending on the event, this may include licensed security personnel, crowd management, access control, mobile patrols, monitoring and other supporting security services.

Our current event security model can also connect physical security with technology and monitoring, helping event teams maintain greater operational visibility.

Integrated Event Security

For larger or more complex events, security can involve multiple layers working together rather than relying on a single security measure.

StateGuard's integrated security approach can combine licensed security personnel with mobile patrols, CCTV, temporary mobile camera solutions, Grade A1 monitoring, communication technology and digital reporting where appropriate.

This allows security resources to be matched to the event rather than applying the same approach to every venue or function.

Security Support for Events Across Australia

The Australian International Beer Awards is one example of the diverse events that require professional security support. StateGuard provides event security services across Australia for events, functions, sporting activities, festivals, corporate gatherings and other public or private engagements.

Whether an event is small or large, national or international, security planning should reflect the environment and the people attending it.

StateGuard works with event organisers to understand the requirements of each engagement and develop a security approach appropriate to the event.
