These wins and contract extensions demonstrate Serco’s ability to expand its footprint and maintain partnerships in sectors where demand for high-quality, reliable services continues to grow. 

Key highlights include: 

  • A major new six-year contract to deliver Justice Transport Services for the Victorian Department of Justice and Community Safety, leveraging extensive capabilities from Serco’s UK business. The contract has two four-year extension options, in addition to the initial term. 
  • Successfully rebid the Victorian Police Assistance line and Online Reporting contract for a further two years, valued at around £18m (AUD$39m). 
  • Secured a four-year extension to the road safety services contract for the Victorian Department of Justice and Community Safety, valued at more than £90m (over AUD$190m), with a one-year extension option. 

Anthony Kirby, Serco Group plc Chief Executive Officer said: “Serco has extensive experience in justice, facilities management and contact centres in Australia and the UK. I am pleased to see our success in securing these wins, which demonstrate the strength of our expertise, customer relationships and is also testament to the hard work of our new management team. We are a trusted partner, delivering critical and complex services to a range of government and public sector customers. 

“We are committed to building on this momentum and capitalising on opportunities across this dynamic market. By focusing on operational excellence and competitiveness, we’ve built a strong foundation for growth.”
