Security Alarm and CCTV Cost VIC 2026

What Home Security Costs in Victoria, Category by Category

Home security pricing in Victoria divides into three systems that are often sold together and priced quite differently. An alarm is priced by zones and sensors, so the figure tracks how many doors, windows and internal spaces you want covered. A camera system is priced by channels, resolution and retention, which means the recorder and the storage matter as much as the cameras. Access control is priced per door or per gate, because each opening needs its own hardware and its own cable. CCTV and security camera installation and alarm system installation are frequently quoted as one package, and splitting the figure into those three parts is the quickest way to compare two prices.

The second driver is Victorian licensing, and it changed recently enough that many households have not caught up. Anybody employed or retained to install, repair, service or maintain security equipment needs a private security licence endorsed for the security equipment installer activity, administered by Victoria Police. The equipment covered is defined broadly and takes in security camera and audio systems, security alarms and alarm monitoring systems, and electric, electro mechanical, magnetic or biometric access control devices. Since 19 June 2025 all private security activities are licensed activities, with the older registrations being transitioned to licences, and from 19 December 2025 a sole trader or independent contractor operating under a relevant ABN needs both a business licence and an individual operator licence.

Building age is the third driver, and in Victoria that means the same era problem that drives electrical pricing. A cable run through an accessible roof space in a brick veneer house is quick, while the same run in a double brick inner suburban terrace with no roof access and lath and plaster ceilings is slow and sometimes impossible without surface conduit. Retrofitting an established house therefore costs more than wiring a new build, and it is the single most common reason two quotes for the same camera count differ. Ask whether the price assumes roof space access before comparing anything.

Victorian Home Security Prices by Item

The way to read a security quote is to separate it into the three systems it tends to contain, because each one prices on a different basis. Alarm work prices by zones and sensors, so the figure follows how many openings and internal spaces are covered. Camera work prices by channels, resolution and retention, which puts the recorder and the hard drive at the centre of the cost, not the cameras. Access control prices per door or per gate, since every opening needs its own hardware, its own cable and its own power. A package price that does not break into those three parts cannot be compared with anything.

Most of the local variation lands on just two lines below, and both of them come from the building. The additional camera at $380 to $850 covers a single position added to a system that already exists, and the spread is almost entirely the cable route. The storage upgrade at $280 to $900 is the line that catches people who specified cameras before deciding how long they wanted to keep footage. Settle the retention first and the rest of the system follows from it.

Where several items are on the list, booking them together saves a real amount. Each separate attendance carries its own call out, and a security installer on site with the ladder up and the roof space already open will price a second camera or an extra sensor at a fraction of a standalone visit. Alarm system installation done at the same time as the cameras shares the cabling labour, which is the largest part of both jobs. Think about the whole property once instead of adding a position at a time. The wider range of work available sits under Victorian electrical services.

Alarm System Pricing, Zones and Sensors

An alarm is priced by what it watches, so the honest way to quote one is to count the openings and the spaces. A zone is a monitored area or device group, and a four zone system covering the front and rear doors and two internal spaces runs $1,100 to $2,400 installed. Eight zones adding windows, a garage and a hallway runs $1,800 to $3,600. The panel itself is a modest part of that figure while the sensors, the cabling and the labour are the bulk, which is why adding zones later costs more per zone than including them at the start. Walk the house and count the openings before the first installer arrives. A zone list written down is the single most useful thing you can hand over.

Sensor choice shapes both the price and how often the system cries wolf. Passive infrared detectors are the default internal device and are cheap, while dual technology detectors combining infrared with microwave cost more and are far less prone to false activations from pets, draughts or a heater cycling. Reed switches on doors and windows are inexpensive and tell you an opening has moved, not that somebody is inside. Glass break detectors suit a room with large windows. External beams and outdoor detectors cost more again and need careful placement in a Victorian garden where wind moves foliage.

Wired and wireless is the decision that most affects a retrofit figure. A wired system is more reliable, needs no battery changes and costs more to install in an established house because every device needs a cable. A wireless retrofit at $900 to $2,200 avoids most of that labour and brings a battery replacement cycle instead, typically every two to five years per device depending on the type. In a new build or a renovation where walls are open, wired is the better buy because the labour that makes it expensive elsewhere has already been paid for by the builder.

Some practical points belong in any alarm budget. Keypads should sit where you enter the house, since a keypad in the wrong place leads to a system nobody arms. A duress code and an entry delay are configuration rather than hardware and cost nothing extra. Battery backup is standard and the backup battery is a consumable with a service life of roughly three to five years. Ask what the panel does when the internet or the power drops, because a system that silently stops reporting is worse than no system at all.

Monitoring Costs and What Each Option Actually Does

Monitoring is where a one off purchase becomes an ongoing cost, and the options differ more than the price suggests. Self monitoring through an app costs nothing beyond the equipment and sends alerts to your phone, which works if your phone is with you and you are in a position to act. Back to base monitoring at $25 to $60 a month puts a staffed monitoring centre between the alarm and you, with an agreed call list and an escalation path. The difference is not detection but response, and being clear about that distinction before signing anything matters.

Whether a monitoring contract is good value comes down to a few questions. How long is the term, since twelve, twenty four and thirty six month contracts are all common and the monthly figure usually falls as the term lengthens. What happens at the end of the term, because an automatic rollover at a higher rate is a real pattern. And who owns the equipment, since some packages subsidise hardware against a longer contract and leave you unable to move the system to another provider. Get the full contract before the installation, not after.

Standards exist for this part of the industry and they are worth knowing by name. The AS 2201 series published by Standards Australia covers intruder alarm systems, including the design and installation of systems at a client premises and the monitoring centres that receive the signals. An installer who can tell you which part of that series their work follows is giving you something checkable. Guard response, where a patrol attends the property, is a separate service again and is charged per attendance and not in the monthly fee. Find out what the response actually is before paying for it, since a patrol attending twenty minutes later is a different product from a phone call. Both have their place and they are not the same purchase.

CCTV Camera System Pricing, Channels and Retention

A camera system prices on three things and only one of them is the cameras. The channel count sets the size of the recorder, the resolution sets the detail you can use, and the retention sets the storage, which is the line most often underestimated. A four camera system with a recorder runs $1,600 to $3,400 installed, six cameras $2,400 to $4,600, and eight cameras $3,200 to $6,800. Within those bands the labour moves with the cable routes, so an established double brick house sits at the top and a single storey brick veneer with roof access sits at the bottom. The equipment accounts for less of that spread than most people assume. Labour and cable routes account for most of it.

Retention deserves deciding before anything is ordered because it multiplies. Keeping seven days of footage from four cameras and keeping thirty days from eight are different storage problems, and the gap is a hard drive, not a setting. A storage upgrade after the fact runs $280 to $900. The useful question to ask yourself is how long it realistically takes to notice something and want to look, which for most households is longer than a week once a holiday is in the picture.

Resolution is where sales conversations get loose. Four megapixel cameras are the sensible domestic default and eight megapixel cameras cost modestly more while quadrupling the storage demand per camera, so the cost of that upgrade lands on the hard drive. Higher resolution helps identification at distance and does nothing for a camera pointed at a doorway two metres away. Specify the higher resolution where you need to identify somebody at the front gate and the lower one where you only need to see that an event happened.

One Victorian detail affects camera work in established housing. In a roof space packed with insulation, or a roof space has no safe access, cable has to be surface run in conduit or routed through a subfloor, and both add labour. CCTV and security camera installation in a period home is a different job from the same camera count in a new build, and the quote should say which assumption it has made. Ask directly whether the price includes roof space access or surface conduit. That single assumption is the difference between two figures that look identical on paper.

Camera Types, Night Performance and Placement

Camera type is mostly about where the camera goes, not how good it is. A turret or bullet camera on an eave is the standard external choice, easy to aim and easy to see, which is part of the deterrent. A dome is less obvious and harder to aim precisely. A pan, tilt and zoom camera covers a wide area from one position and costs considerably more, and it has the drawback that whatever it is not pointing at is not recorded. For most Victorian houses, several fixed cameras beat one moving camera at the same price. Lighting does part of the same work for less, and security lighting installation at an approach often improves night footage more than a dearer camera would.

Night performance is where cheap systems disappoint and the specification repays reading. Infrared illumination gives a usable black and white image and is standard. A camera with a larger sensor and a wider aperture holds colour at low light, which matters because a colour image of a person in a dark driveway is far more useful than a monochrome one. Some cameras add a white light that triggers on detection, which helps identification and annoys neighbours. The Victorian winter brings long dark evenings, so night performance is not a corner case here.

Placement decides whether footage is useful and it is the part an owner can genuinely influence. Cameras mounted too high look at the tops of heads, so two and a half to three metres is the useful range for identification. Point cameras at approaches and entry points, not across open ground. Avoid aiming into direct sun or a bright sky, because the exposure that follows makes everything else a silhouette. And where the camera covers a shared driveway or a boundary, placement is a legal matter as well as a technical one, which is covered further down this page.

Access Control, Intercoms and Gates

Access control prices per opening, which makes it the easiest of the three systems to budget and the easiest to underestimate. A video doorbell at $320 to $700 is the cheapest entry point and covers the front door only. A video intercom with a gate release at $1,400 to $3,800 covers a gate and a handset or two inside. A keypad or fob arrangement on a single door at $700 to $1,900 includes the controller, the reader and the lock hardware. Each additional door is close to a repeat of that figure, because every opening needs its own hardware and cable.

Lock hardware is the part that decides whether an access control job is simple or awkward. An electric strike fitted into an existing frame at $420 to $1,100 is the common solution on a timber or aluminium door. An electromagnetic lock holds a door closed by magnet and suits a glass or awkward door, and it needs the egress arrangement thought through so people can always get out. Where the door is heritage, solid timber or has an unusual frame, the hardware cost rises and the installer may need a locksmith alongside, which is why security doors and screens and locksmith and lock repairs often appears on the same project.

Gates are a project, not an item, and the distance drives the figure. Gate automation with an intercom runs $2,600 to $7,500 depending on the gate weight, whether it swings or slides, the length of the driveway and whether power and communications already reach the gate. Trenching is quoted by the metre and on a Victorian property with established trees or rock it is the dominant cost. Intercom and access control installation at a gate should include the power supply arrangement, since a gate motor without a reliable supply becomes a manual gate.

Apartment and townhouse owners meet a different version of this. A handset replacement inside the lot runs $380 to $900 and is straightforward, while anything touching the building intercom panel, the riser or the common area door is owners corporation territory and needs authority before an installer can proceed. That approval step sets the timeframe more often than the hardware does. Where several lots want the same upgrade, one coordinated building project costs far less per lot than individual work.

Victorian Security Licensing and What to Check

Victoria licenses this work through the police under the Private Security Act 2004, not through a building regulator, and the framework changed recently enough to be worth understanding. A person employed or retained to install, repair, service or maintain security equipment needs a private security licence endorsed for the security equipment installer activity. The endorsement covers security camera and audio systems, security alarms and alarm monitoring systems, and electric, electro mechanical, magnetic or biometric access control devices, which takes in every system on this page. Victoria Police administers the scheme through its licensing function. For a customer the licence is simply something to ask for and read. It takes a minute and it is the most useful minute in the whole process.

The change that matters for anybody hiring in 2026 happened on 19 June 2025, when all private security activities became licensed activities and the older Class A and Class B division was removed. The defined activities now include investigator, bodyguard, crowd controller, security guard, private security trainer, security equipment installer and security adviser. Registrations are being transitioned to licences, with applications required by 19 June 2026, so during this period you may encounter either document. From 19 December 2025 a sole trader or independent contractor operating under a relevant ABN needs both a business licence and an individual operator licence.

A couple of checks follow from that and both take a minute. Ask for the licence and look for the activity, because on licences issued from August 2025 the security equipment installer activity may appear abbreviated as Installer or Sec Equipment Installer. Then ask whether the business holds a business licence as well as the individual holding an operator licence, since a contractor trading under an ABN needs both. A business that cannot answer either question clearly is telling you something useful before any money changes hands.

There is an exemption that cuts both ways. An owner installing a security system at their own property does not need a licence, while anybody who helps install a system at somebody else property does. That means a do it yourself installation at your own home is lawful, and paying a handyman without a licence to do it is not. It also means the cheapest quote in a set is sometimes cheap because the person writing it does not hold the licence the work requires.

Registered Cabling and the Advice Form

Cabling is a large share of a security invoice and a national rule governs who may do it. Under the Cabling Provider Rules administered by the ACMA, cabling work in the telecommunications, fire, security and data industries has to be performed by a registered cabler holding the registration type that matches the work. Registered cablers must comply with the wiring rules for customer cabling, keep telecommunications cabling separate from electrical cabling, install only equipment that meets the labelling requirements, and provide a signed cabling advice form to the customer after each task. Registration comes in types, and the cabler needs the one that matches the work in front of them. None of that is onerous, and all of it is checkable by a customer who asks.

That advice form is the single most useful document a security customer can ask for and most never do. It is signed by the cabler, it records that the work was done to the rules, and it belongs with the paperwork for the property alongside any electrical certificate. Name it at the quoting stage, not afterwards, since a business that intends to provide it will say so without hesitation. Its absence on a completed job is a reasonable thing to query.

The separation requirement explains a detail customers sometimes question. Security and data cabling has to be kept apart from electrical cabling, which is why an installer will not simply run a camera cable alongside a power cable through the same hole, and why the neat solution sometimes costs more than the obvious one. Data cabling installation and security cabling follow the same rules, which is why the two jobs are often done together and why combining them saves on labour.

The Electrical Work Behind a Security System

Every security system needs power and that part is a different trade with different rules. Plug packs on an existing outlet are installer territory, while fixed wiring, a new circuit or anything inside the switchboard is licensed electrical work in Victoria. A dedicated circuit for a panel, a recorder or a gate motor runs $280 to $780 depending on the distance from the board. Where the board has no spare way, the job grows into a switchboard upgrade at $1,500 to $3,900 with the independent inspection fee on top, because board work is prescribed work in this state. That classification has no equivalent in most other states, so a quote written from interstate experience often leaves the inspection fee out. On a security job the board work is where that matters.

The Victorian compliance detail deserves knowing because it has no equivalent in most states. Work classified as prescribed has to be inspected by an independent Licensed Electrical Inspector within eight business days of completion, at a fee of $160 to $420, and the inspector cannot be the electrician who did the work. Energy Safe Victoria administers that scheme. For a security job the practical effect is that any board work sits on a longer timeline than the cameras do, so sequence the project with that in mind.

Some arrangements belong specified, not assumed. A gate motor deserves its own protected circuit because a motor sharing a circuit with garden lighting is a nuisance trip waiting to happen. A recorder belongs on a circuit that is not switched off with the rest of a room. And an uninterruptible supply for the recorder and the network equipment, at $220 to $700, keeps a camera system recording through the short outages that are common on Victorian feeders, which is when footage is most likely to matter.

What the Law Allows Your Cameras to Record

Victoria regulates private surveillance through the Surveillance Devices Act 1999, and the important point for a household is that the Act reaches private individuals and businesses, not only police. It deals with listening devices and private conversations in one provision and optical surveillance devices and private activities in another, and consent is central to both. The Act sits on the Victorian Legislation Register and the Victorian Law Reform Commission has recommended reform of it, and the position below is the law as it currently stands. For a household the practical questions are narrow, being where a camera may point and whether it should record sound. Both are settled before anything is mounted, not afterwards.

For camera placement the consequences are concrete. The definition of private activity currently carves out an activity carried on outside a building, which is a large part of why a camera covering your own yard, driveway or front path is treated differently from one that looks into a dwelling. A camera that captures the inside of a neighbour habitable rooms is a different proposition from one that incidentally catches a footpath. The safe approach is to aim cameras at your own approaches and entries and to mask or angle away anything that looks into somebody else home.

Audio is where households most often stray without realising. Many cameras record sound by default, and the listening device provisions of the Act are concerned with private conversations. Recording audio of conversations you are not part of is a materially different act from recording video of your own driveway. Turning the microphone off is a setting, it costs nothing, and for most domestic installations there is no reason to leave it on. Ask the installer to disable audio unless you have a specific and lawful reason to want it.

The complaint path depends on the problem. Where a neighbour camera or recording concerns you, the Act is the relevant law and police are the relevant authority for an alleged offence. Where a trader has misled you about what a system does, that is a consumer matter for Consumer Affairs Victoria or the ACCC. A dispute with an installer over workmanship or money is a civil matter for the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Privacy Rules, Councils and Owners Corporations

The federal Privacy Act is often raised in security conversations and for a household it mostly does not apply. the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner states plainly that the Privacy Act does not cover a security camera operated by an individual acting in a private capacity, while noting that state and territory laws may apply, which in Victoria means the Surveillance Devices Act. The Act does cover organisations with an annual turnover above three million dollars and some others, which is why the rules change the moment a camera is operated by a business instead of a resident. Covered organisations have to tell people their image may be captured, keep the footage secure, and destroy or de-identify it when it is no longer needed. None of that applies to a camera on your own home.

That distinction has a practical edge for people who let a property. A camera at a home you live in is a private arrangement. A camera at a property you rent out, particularly a short stay listing, starts to look like a business activity and brings obligations and platform rules with it, including disclosure to guests and hard limits on where cameras may be placed. Anybody installing cameras at a let property should take advice before assuming the domestic position carries over.

Underneath all of that sit two local layers. Councils may have requirements where equipment is fixed to a street facing elevation of a building in a heritage overlay, which affects the position of a camera or a gate station, not the wiring. An owners corporation controls anything on common property in an apartment or townhouse, so a camera covering a shared corridor, a car park or an entry needs authority. Neither is expensive to deal with and both are expensive to discover after the holes are drilled.

Pricing by Victorian Housing Type

The same system costs different money in different Victorian houses, and the reason is always the cable. A single storey brick veneer house with an accessible roof space is the easy case, because a cabler can reach most positions from above and the labour component stays low. A double storey house adds a floor to cross and external positions that need a ladder or scaffold. A double brick inner suburban terrace with lath and plaster ceilings and no usable roof space is the hard case, where surface conduit or a subfloor route becomes the practical answer. Neither is a problem, and both cost more than the easy case. The quote should name which one it has assumed.

Apartments and townhouses invert the problem. The cabling inside a lot is usually short and simple, while anything touching common property needs owners corporation authority and that step sets the timeline. A camera covering your own balcony or front door inside the lot is straightforward. A camera covering the shared entry, the car park or the corridor is a building decision, not yours, and raising it with the committee is the path, not booking an installer.

Rural and semi rural Victorian properties are a third category and the figures spread much wider. Distance is the driver, since a gate several hundred metres from the house needs a trench or a wireless link, and outbuildings need their own power and network reach, and WiFi and mesh network coverage becomes part of the job. Travel appears as a zone fee or hourly charge once a job sits well outside the metropolitan area. On a long driveway a wireless bridge to the gate is often cheaper than trenching, and that comparison belongs asked for explicitly.

Wired, Wireless and Retrofitting an Established Home

The wired or wireless decision is really a decision about labour, and it resolves differently depending on what stage the building is at. Wired equipment is more reliable, has no batteries to replace and carries power and signal on one run, but every device needs a cable and in an established house that is the expensive part. Wireless equipment removes most of the labour and adds a battery replacement cycle of roughly two to five years per device. In a new build or a renovation with walls open, wired wins easily because the builder has already paid for the access. If a renovation is planned, run the security cable while the walls are open even if the system goes in later. Conduit and a draw wire cost very little at that stage.

A hybrid arrangement is what most Victorian retrofits end up being, and it is worth asking for by name. Cameras and the recorder go in wired, because they need steady power and generate continuous data, while alarm sensors on upper floors or in awkward positions go in wireless. That keeps the reliable parts reliable and the expensive parts cheap. An installer who quotes an entirely wireless system for a house with an accessible roof space may be quoting for speed, not for the best outcome.

A handful of retrofit questions decide the figure and every one can be answered before a quote. Is the roof space accessible and safe to work in, since insulation, low pitch and no hatch each change the answer. Is there a subfloor that can be used instead. And is there an existing conduit or cable path from a previous system, because reusing a route is the single cheapest thing that can happen on a retrofit. Mention all three when booking and the quotes come back closer to the final figure.

What to Look Out For in a Security Quote

Most disputes over security installations trace to something absent from the quote and not to something wrong in it. The licence and its activity should be stated. The cabling should be identified as registered cabling with the advice form promised on completion. Any electrical work should sit on its own line with the trade named, since that part is not installer scope. The retention period should appear in days, not as a vague reference to storage. Monitoring, if included, should show the monthly figure and the contract term.

The same items go missing from Victorian security quotes often enough to ask about each one. Making good after chasing or drilling in solid brick and plaster. The assumption about roof space access, which decides the labour. Who provides and pays for the power supply arrangement. What happens to the equipment and the footage if you cancel a monitoring contract. And whether the system can be serviced by anybody else, because a proprietary arrangement that only one business can touch is a long term cost, not a feature.

Beyond the price itself, some signals are worth heeding. A quote well below every other one usually differs in scope, and on security work the difference is most often camera resolution, retention or the licence status of whoever is doing the work. High pressure selling around a monitoring contract, particularly a long term agreement signed at the door, is a pattern worth declining on principle. And a business that will not give a licence number and activity, or will not confirm the cabling advice form, has answered the important question already.

Guidance on consumer rights in contracting, including deposits and cooling off, is published by Consumer Affairs Victoria. Where a trader has made claims about a system that turn out to be untrue, misleading conduct is a matter for the ACCC. Reading those provisions before signing a multi year monitoring agreement is a useful half hour, since the contract, not the hardware, is where the long term money sits. A three year agreement at sixty dollars a month is more than two thousand dollars, which usually exceeds the hardware it was bundled with. Work out the total over the term before signing.

Running Costs After the Installation

A security system has an ongoing cost and the figures are modest but real. Where smoke alarm installation or replacement is also due, booking both into one attendance saves a call out. Monitoring, where you choose it, is the largest at $25 to $60 a month. Batteries are the next, with an alarm backup battery due every three to five years and wireless sensor batteries on their own cycle. A service call for a fault runs $120 to $280 for the attendance, and an annual service covering a system test, battery check and camera clean runs $180 to $420. None of those are large, and all of them belong in the comparison when a cheaper system comes with a dearer contract.

Two running costs are specific to camera systems. Hard drives are consumables under continuous recording and fail eventually, not unexpectedly, with a replacement at $180 to $480 fitted. Lens cleaning matters more than people expect, because a Victorian summer of spider webs and a winter of road grime both degrade night performance badly, and a camera that was crisp two years ago is often simply dirty. Both are cheap maintenance that preserve the value of the original spend.

The part most households get wrong is testing. A system that has never been tested since installation is an assumption, not a security measure, and the test is free. Walk each sensor, confirm the panel reports it, check that the monitoring centre received the signal if you are monitored, and view recorded footage from each camera at night, not in daylight. Do it twice a year. The alternative is finding out the week you needed it most.

Getting Comparable Security Quotes in Victoria

Quotes only compare when every installer has worked from the same brief, and for security that brief is specific. Give the property type and era, the number of entry doors and windows you want covered, the number of camera positions and roughly where they are, whether the roof space is accessible, how many days of footage you want kept, and whether you want monitoring. Say what is already installed. That package takes twenty minutes and removes most of the spread between the prices that come back.

Three quotes is the right number and the useful comparison is by inclusion, not by total. Where one undercuts the others by a wide margin, look for the camera resolution, the retention period and the licence status before concluding anything about value. Where a figure stands clear of the pack, ask what it contains that the others do not, because the electrical work, the making good or a longer retention is often what the cheaper quotes left out. Line the three up by inclusion and the decision tends to make itself. Compare what each quote contains before comparing what each one charges.

Resist bundling decisions you have not made yet. A common pattern is a package combining alarm, cameras, access control and a multi year monitoring contract at an attractive headline figure, where the attractive part is the hardware and the expensive part is the agreement. Price the hardware and the monitoring separately, even if you intend to buy both, since that is the only way to see what each one costs you. A system you own outright with month to month monitoring is a different asset from a subsidised system tied to a contract.

Keep the paperwork, because a security system generates more of it than people expect. The quote, the invoice, the installer licence details, the cabling advice form, any electrical certificate for the power work, the monitoring agreement and the equipment manuals together form the record you will want at sale, at an insurance claim or when another business services the system. Photograph the lot and store it somewhere other than the house the system protects. A photograph of each document on a phone is enough. The one place that file should not live is inside the building it covers.

For the commercial equivalent of this page, with per door access control pricing, retention requirements, monitoring grades and the Privacy Act obligations that apply once a business operates the cameras, see commercial security alarm and CCTV costs. The electrical side of any security project is set out in the Victorian electrician pricing guide.

Five regional pages carry the local figures, because the building, the travel and the exposure move them. Security installers in Melbourne covers apartments, owners corporation approval and solid brick cabling, and security installers in Geelong and the Surf Coast covers salt specification and travel bands down the Great Ocean Road. Both carry bands the statewide figures on this page average out.

The other three cover the rest of the state. Security installers on the Mornington Peninsula deals with two coastlines, long driveway trenching and part year occupancy. Security installers in the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges deals with outage resilience and bushfire rated penetrations. Security installers in Ballarat, Bendigo and the goldfields deals with the oldest housing stock in regional Australia and the making good that follows. Read whichever matches the address.
