Our Story

About Us

Welcome to HI-RISE, a leading engineering, design and fabrication company specialising in customised height safety and facade access solutions. Since our founding in 1989 as HI-RISE Access, we have dedicated ourselves to addressing complex access challenges within the height safety industry in Victoria.

For over 30 years, HI-RISE Access has delivered high-quality engineering and innovative access solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients. Our expertise in creating safe access solutions ensures workers can perform their tasks confidently and securely, even in the most challenging environments.

In 2019, HI-RISE Access became part of RIGCOM, a Sydney-based company specialising in height safety, rope access and energy services. This strategic partnership expanded our capabilities and enhanced the services we provide. In 2023, we proudly joined the GEV Group, further strengthening our position.

Today, HI-RISE remains committed to leveraging our engineering expertise and creativity to provide tailored access solutions that prioritise the safety of workers at height. 

"Whether you need solutions for industrial, commercial, or construction projects, our team is here to help you navigate your access challenges".
