In high-security environments, trust is tested and proven over time.
For more than two decades, Wormald Security has partnered with Gallagher Security, a global leader in security solutions. What began as an early collaboration on emerging high-security systems has grown into a Tier 1 national partnership, strengthening Wormald’s engineering depth and its ability to protect Australia’s most critical assets.
This strategic partnership helps shape how Wormald designs, builds, and supports high security systems for government, defence, critical infrastructure, and complex commercial sites.
A legacy built on protection
Wormald Security is a specialist division of Wormald Australia Pty Ltd, one of the nation’s longest-established safety and protection companies. Since 1889, Wormald has evolved from fire protection pioneer into a diversified national provider, operating from more than 40 offices across Australia, delivering leading safety and security solutions, and protecting lives and property.
Focused on integrated high-security electronic and IT systems, Wormald is recognised nationally as a Gallagher specialist Type 1A and Access Control provider. Its reputation for quality, service, and reliability is underpinned by one key principle: say what you mean and do what you say.
From ground zero to leadership
When Gallagher began establishing a high-security footprint in Australia in the early 2000s, Wormald was involved from the outset. In 2005, it participated in one of the first high-security Gallagher deployments, testing, refining, and engineering enterprise-grade solutions tailored to Australian conditions.
That early involvement created technical depth and cultural alignment. As security environments became more digitised and integrated with IT and cyber infrastructure, the partnership evolved with it. Today, Wormald is recognised as a long-standing national Gallagher Access and High Security partner, celebrated for delivery as well as disciplined, large-scale engineering excellence.
Expert capability through training
High-level partnership demands capability, and Wormald has invested in building it.
All technical personnel are trained and currently certified in Gallagher systems, including engineers, system integrators, service technicians, and IT specialists.
This ensures every stage of a project – from design, installation, integration, commissioning, and long-term maintenance – is delivered by accredited experts. Technical challenges are resolved quickly, accelerating response times and maintaining continuity in environments where downtime is not an option.
“We only work with Tier 1 manufacturers, and Gallagher exemplifies that standard. Together, we ensure systems are designed, installed, and maintained in a way that protects performance, compliance, and brand reputation — particularly in government, defence, and critical infrastructure environments,” said Matt Rose, Wormald National Operations Manager.
Protection through integrated security
Wormald engineers fully integrated, high-end systems that combine access control, perimeter detection, CCTV, intruder alarms, IT networks, and cyber architecture. Its licensed and accredited teams, many holding AGSVA security clearances, deliver compliant, audit-ready solutions across regulated sectors.
As Wormald firms its alignment with the Defence Industry Security Program, the partnership with Gallagher is set to expand across government, defence, and critical infrastructure sectors.
“Gallagher security enables us to engineer and deploy high-security solutions to the highest standards, supported by the continued development of our fully trained and certified technical teams. Gallagher naturally aligns with Wormald’s uncompromising approach to quality, ensuring systems are designed, installed, and maintained to protect performance, compliance, and brand reputation,” said Dave Gavan, Wormald Security’s National General Manager.
Strengthening Australia’s security capability
Security challenges are growing more sophisticated, but through its strategic partnership with Gallagher, combined with investment in training, certification, and disciplined engineering, Wormald has strengthened its technical capability, national delivery, and integrated IT protective services.
Together, Wormald and Gallagher are engineering trust and strengthening Australia’s security capability at scale.
Andrew Myssonski, Gallagher’s National High Security & Federal Manager for Australia, explains this partnership has been one of the most valued and enduring relationships within Gallagher’s High Security and Government division.
“Wormald Security has consistently demonstrated exceptional proficiency and professionalism to comply with the relevant standards of installation and support. This partnership represents everything we look for in a trusted Channel Partner – technical proficiency, professionalism, and an ability deliver in demanding security environments.”
