Shaping the Future of Security Symposium
19 March | Western Australia
Western Australia’s security workforce is at a pivotal moment.
Tight labour markets, rising economic pressure and rapid technological change are reshaping how security organisations attract talent, manage risk and build resilient operations - particularly across WA’s unique mix of metropolitan, regional and remote environments
This WA-focused symposium brings together industry leaders, workforce experts and practitioners to explore how security organisations can respond to disruption and position themselves for long-term success.
Through keynote insights, panel discussion and real-world case studies, we’ll examine how talent, risk and technology must come together as a single, integrated workforce strategy.
Key Themes We’ll Explore
Workforce Resilience in a Tight Labour Market
How security organisations can attract, retain and mobilise talent in WA’s most competitive employment environment, bridging the divide between metro and regional, white-collar and frontline teams.
Managing Risk Beyond Compliance
Why physical fatigue, psychosocial risk and well-being now sit at the centre of workforce performance and how data-driven approaches are reshaping safety, accountability and care.
Technology That Works for People
From AI-enabled scheduling and automation to microlearning and internal talent mobility, we’ll explore how technology can support flexibility, reduce burnout and unlock hidden workforce capacity - when it’s applied with intent.
