Frequently Asked Questions — Event Security Queensland
What is an Event Security Management Plan (ESMP)?
An Event Security Management Plan is a documented strategy that outlines every aspect of your event’s security operation — including risk assessment, officer deployment, crowd management procedures, emergency response protocols, communication plans, and post-event reporting. Matai Protective Services develops a tailored ESMP for every event we secure.
How far in advance should I book event security?
We recommend contacting us as early as possible — ideally several weeks before your event. For major events, festivals, or large-scale gatherings, earlier engagement allows us to conduct a full risk assessment, develop a comprehensive ESMP, and ensure adequate staffing. For smaller events, we may be able to accommodate shorter lead times.
Do you provide event security in Gladstone and regional Queensland?
Are your event security officers RSA certified?
Yes — all Matai event security officers working in licensed venue or alcohol-service environments hold current RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) certification as required under Queensland legislation.
