Protecting field staff across Townsville City Council – from the city centre and The Strand to the former Thuringowa suburbs, the island community of Magnetic Island, and the expanding northern beaches, requires a safety solution designed for Northern Queensland’s largest urban centre and its unique blend of city, coastal, and island operations.
At SafeTCard, we provide dedicated lone worker safety solutions engineered for the specific challenges of a major northern regional council. We help you meet your duty of care for teams operating across urban centres, defence force interfaces, island communities, and tropical environments.
