Servicing regional VIC and Southern NSW

About us

Creating a Safer Tomorrow, Today

AmbaGuard is a family owned safety services business based in Kyabram, run by Paul and Melissa Mennen. We look after fire safety, electrical testing and first aid for workplaces and homes across regional Victoria and Southern NSW.

Why We Do This

Safety gear is easy to forget about. Extinguishers sit on the wall, kits sit in the ute and exit lights sit on the ceiling, and it is usually not until something goes wrong that anyone checks them. We would rather find the flat extinguisher or the RCD that does not trip on a routine visit than after an incident.

So we work proactively. We test what is on the job sheet, point out what is not, and remind you before anything falls due. Whether it is your staff, your customers, or the kids and residents in your care, the aim is the same: everyone goes home safe.

How We Got Here

Paul and Melissa have worked in the safety industry since 2013. For years that was as part of a franchise, and the franchise limited how far they could go for their clients.

Starting AmbaGuard meant they could offer more services, assess sites more thoroughly and run things their way: turn up when they said they would, explain what they found, and keep the reminders coming. Hundreds of workplaces later, that is still how it works.

How We Work

The rules we hold ourselves to on every job, big or small.

  • Professional, organised and friendly, with clear communication from booking to report.
  • We point out safety gear that may not be compliant while we are on site, even if it was not on the job sheet.
  • We arrive at the booked time, and call ahead if we are running late.
  • Detailed reports after every visit, written against the Australian Standards.
  • Reminders before each service falls due, so nothing lapses.

What Sets Us Apart

On Time, or You Hear From Us

We arrive at the booked time. If we are running late, you get a call from us before you have to chase it up.

Reports You Can Hand Over

Every visit is documented against the Australian Standards, ready for your insurer, auditor or accreditation body.

Reminders Before You Are Due

We track your service dates and contact you ahead of time, so tags, lights and kits never quietly lapse.

We Point Out What Others Miss

While on site we flag safety gear that may not be compliant, even when it was not on the job sheet.

Paul has worked in the safety industry since 2013. AmbaGuard is the business he and Melissa built to give regional workplaces a better level of service.
