Believing that everyone
deserves to feel safe at work.
Persec Services is an Australian-owned provider of occupational violence and aggression (OVA) training, helping organisations meet their work health and safety responsibilities through practical, customised programs.
“After 30 years across policing and corporate training, I started Persec because I kept seeing the same gap — generic training that didn’t survive contact with the workplaces it was supposed to protect.”
Three decades on the frontline.
Kev built Persec on the work, not the theory. The list below is the short version — it’s why our programs sound different to the staff who sit through them.
Kev Perry, our Training Director, has developed his craft across 30+ years of police and corporate training. His time as an Academy Law Instructor, Pursuit & Defensive Driving Instructor, Firearms and Taser Instructor, Unarmed Defensive Tactics Instructor, and Forced Building Entries expert leads the way in providing high-level training and services.
Kev has extensive experience in emergency and critical incident management, with practical service in a Critical Incident Response Team — experience that shapes how Persec prepares clients for the moments that matter most.
As an authority in counter-terrorism and hostage negotiation, Kev brings depth in diffusing tense situations and protecting the safety of everyone involved. His work as a Suicide Intervention Negotiator further enhances our commitment to safeguarding people in distress — both physically and emotionally.
As a VIP Close Personal Protection Instructor, Kev has protected and taught others to protect Prime Ministers, Premiers, Presidents, Ambassadors, members of the Royal Family, and other dignitaries.
Three things shape everything we do.
We're not a generic safety vendor. We're a small, focused team with a clear point of view — and we'd rather walk away from a project than run training we don't believe will help.
Real workplaces, not classrooms
Skills only stick when they're practised in the environment where they'll be used. Every program runs in your space, with your equipment.
Practitioner-led, always
Every instructor on our team has worked the floor. Clinical, security, education, frontline response — we've done the job we're training for.
Plain language, no theatre
No fear-based marketing, no martial vocabulary, no padded statistics. Just honest, useful work for people facing genuinely hard situations.
Long after the training day
Six-month refreshers and on-call coaching are part of every engagement. The handshake at the end of training is the start of the relationship.
Believing everyone
deserves to feel safe at work.
We’re committed to making that real — through specialised training programs that equip you to manage and respond to occupational violence and aggression effectively.
Every workplace is different, and a one-size-fits-all program won’t cut it. We collaborate with you to design training that addresses your specific needs, mitigates your specific OVA risks, and integrates with the way your people already work.
That collaboration runs across your OH&S staff, your line managers, and your frontline together. The result is training that’s relevant, engaging, and — most importantly — remembered when it matters.
Our programs blend interactive workshops, scenario-based practice and follow-up coaching. We focus on practical, applicable skills for both the workplace and the rest of life — because the situations our learners face don’t always stop at the office door.
