Team Safety Cameras, Westfield destinations

A Scentre Group spokesperson said: “Safety and security is our highest priority.

“Our security approach is created in partnership with law enforcement and government agencies. We invest in our security practices and continuously improve our capability, processes and people’s preparedness to respond to security incidents.

“We heightened security across all Westfield destinations following the events of 7 October 2023 and further enhanced this following the attack at Westfield Bondi on 13 April 2024.

“In 2024, we introduced additional personal protective equipment, including vests, for all security officers in every Westfield destination.

“We also continued to test initiatives in our Westfield destinations. This included a team safety camera trial, with team safety cameras now being rolled out to all 42 Westfield destinations across Australia and New Zealand.

“The introduction of the team safety cameras is to enhance the safety and security of our customers, business partners and team members.

“Our security officers may turn on the recording function on the team safety cameras to capture audio and video recordings of incidents when they have reasonable concern for their safety or welfare, or that of others.”
