Why Queensland Businesses Choose Matai Protective Services

Not all security providers are equal. When you choose Matai, you gain more than a licensed guard — you gain a trusted partner who is invested in your safety, your people, and your success.

One Company. Two Divisions. Complete Coverage.

Whether you need a licensed security guard on your Gladstone site, a certified traffic controller at your Queensland construction zone, or both at the same location — Matai delivers it all under one trusted provider.

Locally Owned & Operated in Queensland

We are not a national chain. We are a Queensland business with deep roots in Gladstone and the Central Queensland region. We understand local council requirements, local environments, and local industries — and we show up accordingly.

Licensed Security + Certified Traffic Management

All Matai security personnel hold current Queensland security licences under the Security Providers Act 1993 (Qld). All Matai traffic controllers hold current Queensland traffic control certification and operate in full compliance with WorkSafe Queensland and the MUTCD. Two divisions. Both fully compliant.

We never apply a generic template. Every security engagement and every traffic management setup begins with a proper assessment of your site, your risks, and your requirements — and a solution designed specifically for you.

GPS patrol tracking, QR checkpoint verification, real-time incident reporting, and digital patrol and traffic management logs — our technology gives you full visibility and documented proof of every service we deliver.

A Partner, Not Just a Vendor

We build long-term relationships with our clients. Your operations grow, your risks change, your projects evolve — and Matai grows with you across both our security and traffic management divisions.
