About RQSS

Local Security Leadership. Regional Queensland Capability.

Regional Queensland Security Services combines strong local Cairns knowledge and operational leadership with experienced business, investigation, compliance and regional service capability.

Who We Are

A security business built specifically for Regional Queensland.

Regional Queensland Security Services was established to provide professional, reliable and properly managed security services outside the major metropolitan centres.

The business is built around a simple principle: regional clients deserve security providers who understand regional operations, regional workforces and the practical realities of delivering services across large distances.

Cairns and Far North Queensland are a major operational focus for RQSS, with the business structured to combine genuine local leadership with broader regional capability.

Local leadership backed by established capability.

RQSS is not intended to be managed remotely from South East Queensland. Local knowledge, relationships and day-to-day operational leadership are central to the way the Cairns operation is being developed.

At the same time, RQSS benefits from established business systems, governance and regional operational experience.

Leadership

Local operational leadership supported by experienced ownership.

RQSS has been structured so the people closest to the local market can drive the operation while the business retains strong governance, compliance and professional oversight.

Cairns Operations

Cayla Huhta

Operations Manager

Cayla is a born and bred Cairns local and brings strong local knowledge, security-sector experience and an understanding of the Far North Queensland operating environment.

Her local networks and familiarity with the Cairns security market are central to RQSS’s approach to building genuine operational capability in the region.

Cayla is the primary local face of RQSS in Cairns, working directly with clients, personnel and the local market as the operation develops.

Owner & Director

Jason King

Owner / Director

Jason King is the Director of Regional Queensland Investigations Pty Ltd and has extensive experience in professional investigations, compliance, governance and complex workplace and organisational matters.

His background includes law enforcement, government compliance, corporate investigations and legal training, together with extensive experience delivering professional services across regional, rural and remote Queensland.

Jason’s role in RQSS is primarily ownership, governance, licensing, compliance and strategic oversight, allowing the Cairns operation to be driven locally.

Cairns Leadership

RQSS is intended to be genuinely local in Cairns.

Cayla Huhta is central to the development of the RQSS operation in Cairns and Far North Queensland.

She is Cairns-based, has experience within the investigation and security sector, understands the local market and has built networks within the broader North Queensland business community.

Cayla’s role is not simply administrative. She is involved in developing client relationships, identifying and supporting suitable personnel, understanding local operational requirements and helping shape the day-to-day RQSS presence in Far North Queensland.

This gives RQSS something we consider particularly important: a local person with genuine responsibility for the local operation.

Cayla’s Local Focus

  • Based in Cairns, Far North Queensland
  • Knowledge of the Cairns security and investigation market
  • Licensed private investigation background
  • Experience within the broader security and investigations sector
  • Local business and community networks
  • Entrepreneurial and business-development experience
  • Client relationship development
  • Local workforce and operational development

Experienced ownership behind the operation.

RQSS benefits from the established systems, governance and professional standards developed through Regional Queensland Investigations.

This provides a stronger foundation for licensing, compliance, documentation, client management and operational accountability as the security business develops.

Ownership & Governance

Jason King — regional experience, governance and professional oversight.

Jason has spent his career working in environments where evidence, accountability, lawful decision-making and professional standards matter.

His professional background spans law enforcement, government compliance, corporate and workplace investigations and legal practice and education. He holds postgraduate legal qualifications and has extensive experience undertaking complex investigations for councils, government-related organisations, businesses and community-sector clients.

Through Regional Queensland Investigations, Jason has developed a business model centred on servicing clients throughout regional, rural and remote Queensland rather than concentrating exclusively on metropolitan markets.

RQSS extends that regional philosophy into security services while allowing local operational leadership to remain where it belongs — on the ground in Cairns.

Why This Structure Matters

Local decision-making with professional business support behind it.

Local Market Knowledge

Day-to-day Cairns operations are informed by people who understand the local market, workforce and operating environment.

Regional Business Experience

The broader business understands the logistics and challenges associated with delivering professional services outside metropolitan Queensland.

Governance & Compliance

Licensing, business systems, client accountability and professional standards are supported through experienced ownership and management.

Operational Flexibility

RQSS can develop local capability while drawing on broader regional resources where appropriate.

Client Relationships

Clients have a genuine local point of contact rather than dealing only with a metropolitan head office.

Long-Term Development

The objective is to build a sustainable regional security operation, not simply fill individual shifts as they arise.

How We Work

The standards we want RQSS to be known for.

Professional

Security personnel and management should communicate, present and conduct themselves professionally.

Reliable

Clients should be able to rely on agreed security coverage and clear communication when circumstances change.

Accountable

Security work should involve clear responsibilities, appropriate reporting and management oversight.

Regional

Regional Queensland is not secondary to the business. It is the reason the business exists.

Licensed. Professional. Accountable.

Regional Queensland Security Services operates within Queensland’s security licensing framework.
