Workplace Security Part 8: Why WA Government and Commercial Buildings Are Switching to Gallagher Command Centre

The All-in-One Security Platform That Future-Proofs Physical Access

Across WA, security demands for commercial and government buildings are changing fast. Legacy systems can’t keep up with the needs of hybrid workforces, compliance frameworks, and increasingly complex risk environments.

At Safer Community Security, we help organisations modernise their infrastructure with Gallagher Command Centre – an enterprise-grade access control platform built for the real-world challenges of today’s buildings. Whether you’re managing a civic administration building in Mandurah or a high-rise office in the Perth CBD, Gallagher gives you the power, visibility, and compliance you need.

4 Reasons Gallagher Command Centre is the Smart Choice for Future-Ready Facilities

1. Trusted by Government – Certified for High-Security Environments

Gallagher Command Centre is widely used by government departments and critical infrastructure providers across Australia and New Zealand. It’s SCEC-approved (Security Construction and Equipment Committee) and meets strict cybersecurity and physical security requirements.

Why it matters:
Government and regulated industries need systems that can’t be easily bypassed or tampered with. Gallagher delivers certified protection for physical doors and digital credentials – all in one platform.

2. Mobile Credentials and Multi-Factor Access

Say goodbye to outdated keycards. Gallagher enables secure mobile access using smartphones, layered with biometric authentication or time/location-based restrictions.

Why it matters:
Staff can access secure zones via phone apps, removing the risks and admin costs of lost or cloned cards. Multi-factor authentication makes it significantly harder for unauthorised users to gain access – ideal for sensitive areas like executive suites, server rooms, and evidence storage.

3. Seamless Integration with Building Systems

Gallagher is built for interoperability. From CCTV to visitor management and third-party systems like HVAC, fire panels, and HALO environmental sensors, it acts as the command hub of your building.

Why it matters:
A single interface lets you monitor and manage occupancy, environmental risk, and real-time security events – cutting down on operator fatigue and response times.

4. Supports ESG, Automation & Remote Admin

Energy efficiency and sustainability are now key drivers in security decisions. Gallagher hardware includes low-power readers, and its access logic can be used to automate lighting, HVAC, or lock schedules based on real-time occupancy.

Why it matters:
For organisations now required to meet ESG reporting standards, Gallagher helps reduce emissions, waste, and resource use – while improving building intelligence.
