Powered by Purpose.
GuardCore is proudly developed and hosted in Australia by Yarning Crescent — a Supply Nation registered Indigenous business. Every licence purchased is a direct investment in First Nations economic participation.
For Security Providers
Advance your RAP goals
Choosing GuardCore means your organisation is actively contributing to your Reconciliation Action Plan. Procurement from Supply Nation registered businesses is a recognised, measurable RAP activity — and it's one of the most impactful ways to demonstrate genuine commitment.
- Counts as a verified RAP procurement activity
- Supports First Nations economic self-determination
- Reportable to Supply Nation and RAP frameworks
- Demonstrates authentic reconciliation commitment
- Strengthens your ESG and social procurement credentials
"Procurement from Indigenous businesses is one of the most direct ways organisations can contribute to closing the economic gap."
For Clients & Procurement Teams
Ask the right question
When you contract a security company, you have the power to drive meaningful change. Ask your security provider: "Are you using a Supply Nation registered platform?" — it's a simple question that creates a ripple effect of Indigenous economic participation throughout your supply chain.
Ask your security provider:
"Does your operations platform come from a Supply Nation registered business? If not — why not?"
- Strengthens your own RAP commitments through supply chain
- Drives Indigenous procurement without changing your vendor
- Supports the broader First Nations business ecosystem
- Aligns with government and corporate ESG expectations
