Every vehicle and visitor entering your site is a potential risk if it isn't checked. Security Services Perth provides licensed gate house security officers across Perth, managing access control, vehicle checks, and visitor records so only authorised people and vehicles get through.
A gate house security officer is stationed at the main entry point of a property — a construction site, business park, gated estate, or industrial facility — to control who and what comes in and out. Their core role is access control: checking identification, verifying vehicles against an approved list, and preventing tailgating, where an unauthorised vehicle or person follows an authorised one through the gate. Beyond entry checks, gate house officers often handle visitor induction, maintain sign-in/sign-out records, monitor site CCTV from the gatehouse, and — on larger industrial sites — operate weighbridge systems for incoming and outgoing vehicles. It's a role that combines security with the day-to-day operational face of your property.
With 20 years of experience managing site access across Perth, our gatehouse officers are trained to control entry without creating bottlenecks or frustrating legitimate visitors.
Our officers are trained to recognise and stop tailgating — one of the most common ways unauthorised vehicles and people gain access to a supposedly secure site.
Every visitor and vehicle is logged on entry and exit, giving you a complete, timestamped record of who was on site and when — essential for compliance and incident investigation.
Every shift is logged with visitor records, vehicle checks, and notes — accessible to you online. Full visibility over exactly who accessed your site, day and night.
Different properties need different access control approaches, and our gatehouse officers are matched accordingly — not a generic booth-and-boom-gate setup.
Every gatehouse assignment is built around your site's specific access requirements and traffic volume.
Officers verify every vehicle and visitor against your approved access list before allowing entry, checking identification, vehicle registration, and any required permits or passes.
Visitors are signed in and, where required, given a site induction covering safety and access rules. Every entry and exit is logged, giving you a complete, auditable record of site access.
Choosing a licensed gatehouse provider protects your site legally and reduces disputes if an access-related incident occurs. Here's how we meet WA's strict regulatory requirements.
Gate house security in Perth generally ranges from $33 to $38 per hour for standard access control shifts, rising to $40–$48 per hour for corporate business park roles or sites requiring additional duties like weighbridge operation or CCTV monitoring.
a single boom gate vs. multi-point access with weighbridge and CCTV duties
high vehicle turnover sites require more experienced officers
business hours only vs. 24/7 gatehouse staffing

Yes. We staff gatehouses around the clock where required, often combined with our after hours security services for sites that need reduced coverage overnight rather than a full gatehouse shift.
A gatehouse officer is stationed at a fixed entry point, controlling access continuously, while mobile patrols conduct scheduled and randomised checks across a property. Many sites use both together — a gatehouse for entry control and patrols for perimeter checks.
Yes. Our gatehouse officers regularly manage contractor and delivery access on construction sites, including induction and PPE compliance checks at the gate.
Yes. Gatehouse coverage is often bundled with broader commercial property security for business parks and multi-tenant sites, giving you a single point of contact for all site security needs.
