NQPS Security

25/06/2026

Our NQPS Security superheroes are brave bastions of the night. They are willing to patrol around the darkest corners, no matter what creatures FNQ throws in their path.

Those of us who work in the PR department however are not so courageous.

Take me for example. I’m happy to post all the pics of spiders and snakes they send me, and I even think their frequent shots of Casso-be-very-bloody-waries are quite pretty. But I draw the line at goth butterflies of doom. These pics give me all of the heebies AND the jeebies.

I applaud our intrepid night patrol guard (and wildlife photographer extraordinaire) Adrian for his extreme resilience and fortitude at a time where…quite clearly any normal person would have found themselves with pants of the brown persuasion and no longer needed the bathroom.

We were blessed to be able to talk to such an amazing group of young people at VPG - Vocational Partnerships Group last week.

We hope we got them excited about the huge diversity of positions within the security industry, and gave them some tips on how to have your job application stand out.

It takes a community to build a strong workforce. 💪

A big thank you to NQPS Security for sharing their insights with our skilling participants. Hearing directly from industry about what employers look for and how to stand out in the recruitment process is invaluable for young people preparing for work.

Many are on the home stretch of their training and will soon find themselves in the interview seat. Conversations like this help build confidence and prepare them for what's ahead.

Thank you, NQPS Security. We appreciate your support.

In Mareeba for our very late “Christmas” party as most in our Tablelands security superhero team didn’t get to make it to Cairns back in December.

Great group of people, though moderately impossible to get them to pose together for a photo. We got there in the end. (The boss is usually the worst at this!!)

As you may have noticed we love all animals, and we love posting the interactions our NQPS Superheroes have with our great FNQ Wildlife.

We found out that like many organisations Lamb Care Australia are finding donations hard to come by right now, and lambing season has just started. They have a generous donor offering to match donations over Easter, up to a total of $5000, but had only managed a fifth of that even thought it's already Easter Monday. So we decided to help out.

The volunteers at Lamb Care work with Australian Farmers to save unwell newborn lambs with diligent 2 hourly milk bottles, lots of love and even more nappies. ❤️

When the lambs are well they leave their foster carers to frolic in their forever homes, with no mint sauce in sight.

It's a baaa-eutiful (and tax deductible!) organisation.

The Elvis Foundation A young lamb named Elvis arrived into our care in November 2022 and quickly stole the hearts of everyone at LCA along with so many of our supporters. The Elvis Foundation has been created to continue the legacy of this young lamb. It will help to raise funds for life saving surg...

We found this Sunbird while doing our rounds.

He was a little stunned from hitting the glass so we took him outside, but he decided he’d rather come on patrol with us.

Around an hour later he decided being a night patrol guard wasn’t for him, and flew off. We get it, not everyone has what it takes to be an NQPS Security Superhero.

Thanks to our stellar NQPS Security Superhero Doug for being the ultimate bird whisperer and sending us this footage. ❤️

NQPS Security superhero Adrian sent this video of him surviving night patrol in the great Australian FNQ Wilderness.

His dangers are many. His needs few. His chance of spontaneously performing interpretive dance while singing falsetto with a face full of spider web…extra high.

Northern Golden Orb weavers love bright lights where they can spin their beautiful all you can eat buffets and let their up to 20cm (8”) legspan hang (all the way) out.

A flock of starlings enjoyed the stunning sunset at the Cairns Cruise Terminal 🛳️Sunday morning.

We were onsite for the Crystal Serenity which was certainly in the right place.

Cairns. ☀️🌴 There’s nowhere quite like it.

Thanks to NQPS Security Superhero Rhiannon for the brilliant footage.

Occasionally we have to evict those caught using facilities outside opening hours. It’s not always easy. This little guy drove us quackers trying, and clearly had zero ducks to give.
