This Secure September (1 – 30 September 2024), Crimsafe has joined forces with crime prevention partner Neighbourhood Watch Australasia, to encourage all Australian families and homeowners to make Crimprovements to their home security as they head into spring and the warmer months of the year.
As your local Crimsafe Licenced Manufacturer, we’re delighted to play an integral part in keeping Sunshine Coast locals safe in our homes and offices.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reports that an estimated 856,800 Australian homes experienced one or more household crimes from 2022-2023, including 185,300 break-ins, 194,700 attempted break-ins, and 54,700 motor vehicles stolen.
Many of these could have been prevented with simple strategies and low-cost home security measures.
Is Your Home an Easy Target For Crime?
We never know the answer to this question unless we take a moment to look around and check.
Secure Score Audit Tool
Crimsafe’s Secure Score is a free, online home security audit tool designed to promote safer and more secure communities by empowering homeowners to make their homes more secure.
A home’s Secure Score is determined by assessing the security measures from the street level, within the yard and inside the home.
Each security feature, such as a spotlight, security camera or security screen, is assigned a value that makes up a home’s Secure Score – a score out of 100.

Home Crimprovement
Secure September is about encouraging and supporting you to harden your home security and reduce your risk of being a crime target.
Here are some ways you can do some Home Crimprovement at your place:
- Move your wheelie bins to a secure location, not against the house. Intruders often climb onto bins to help enter windows or get over fences
- Lock your gates – both front and back with a solid padlock
- Lock your garden shed and garage – don’t let your tools be one of the tools a crim uses to break into your home.
- Trim trees so crim’s have nowhere to hide
- Install security screens to protect from unwanted intruders
- Install cameras to deter criminals and monitor your home
- Fixed sliding doors can reduce the risk of a break-in
- Adding sensor lights can light up dark areas at night and deter intruders from entering your home
Our team of Crimsafe experts are here to help with any of your security screening needs.
