Security in the health industry is one of the most complex, challenging environments. Naturally, it is an industry that undergoes constant and significant change across the board. In recent years alone, hospitals around Australia have experienced huge administrative changes, a rise in technology-enabled care and a serious spike in the number of anger-related presentations and weapon-inflicted injuries. Hospital admissions have continued to rise an average 3.9% a year since 2012, with more than 11 million people being admitted to hospital between 2016 and 2017.

The health industry has a responsibility to provide the highest possible quality of care and safety to patients across Australia. This fundamentally requires resilient, effective security and risk policies to be in place across all aspects of the service; from security guards to crisis management, cyber security to employee training. This is where Agilient comes in.
