Southern Cross Group Story - From Western Sydney to Australia-Wide

Southern Cross Group is a global provider of Facility, Training and Technology solutions. With a focus on innovation and people, our strategic management model has seen the company's portfolio grow to deliver services on a global platform, with clients across the entire range of industry types in both the public and private sectors.

With a dedicated team of management personnel from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, Southern Cross has developed our unique Integrated Services Model, offering clients streamlined administration, reduced overheads and a singular point of contact for all contracted services.

Today, Southern Cross has grown to become one a leading provider of integrated solutions, delivering solution to sites across the country and supplying a range of service packages to commercial, government, health, education, construction, entertainment and retail clients. Southern Cross will always be at your service.

Founded by Sam Johnson in 2005, Southern Cross Group was originally established as a small provider of customer-service oriented physical security services. Building a firm foundation as an honest and professional service provider, Southern Cross quickly gained traction as one of New South Wales’ most reputable security organisations. Using this standing, Southern Cross successfully procured marque contracts with major organisations including Lend Lease, The Sydney Entertainment Centre and Westfield Australia. Expanding on this already impressive growth, the company began to deliver services across Australia, establishing state offices to maintain its growing operational reach.

Upon becoming a national provider of security services, Southern Cross began a process of diversifying, offering clients a range of integrated services including cleaning, traffic control, facilities maintenance and concierge, and finally, establishing its very own Registered Training Organisation (RTO ID: 41086). With the ability to drastically reduce the cost of soft services to clients through collective offerings, Southern Cross have grown to become one of Australia’s leading integrated service providers.

With the construction of Southern Cross’ new Corporate Head Offices nearing completion, we look forward to a future of steady expansion and a continued commitment to customer service.

Southern Cross Group. At your service.
