Minister opens Acusensus's new Ingleburn facility, bringing Australian-designed road safety technology home to NSW. November 2, 2026 INGLEBURN, NSW - 2 November 2026 - The Hon. Anoulack Chanthivong MP, NSW Minister for Industry and Trade and Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology, and the local member for Macquarie Fields, today officially opened Acusensus's new manufacturing and innovation facility. The facility is where Acusensus designs, builds and services the road safety technology that detects three of the Fatal Five behaviours behind most serious road trauma: speeding, mobile phone use and seatbelt non-compliance. The systems built in NSW supports programs across Australia and is exported to the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The opening also marks eight years since Acusensus was founded in 2018. It is a milestone for the road safety technology company, which pioneered the world's first mobile phone detection and seat-belt non-compliance cameras. NSW was the first jurisdiction in the world to run a mobile phone detection camera enforcement program, launched with Acusensus technology in 2019. Since then, the proportion of drivers detected using a phone has fallen from about 1 in 82 to about 1 in 478 within the first year, and to about 1 in 1,200 in 2025 (Transport for NSW). Member for Macquarie Fields, Mr Anoulack Chanthivong said: "I'm delighted to open Acusensus' innovative new facility in Ingleburn, supporting domestic manufacturing and generating local jobs." Acusensus employs over 80 people in NSW, its largest state-based team in Australia, and most are based in Ingleburn. The new facility is more than three times the size of the previous premises, and will support the growing team as Acusensus expands its NSW manufacturing, engineering and operations capabilities. The facility will be used to manufacture Acusensus's trailers, mobile speed camera vehicles and camera systems, and to service its NSW fleet. It also houses product engineering, engineering support, helpdesk operations and the team that reviews images for NSW programs. Acusensus's NSW operations also support local contractors and suppliers. "Acusensus began with a loss. In 2013 I lost a close friend to a distracted driver, and I set out to turn that trauma into technology that stops it happening to other families. That's what we build in this facility. We have already solved for three of the Fatal Five. The next two are on our roadmap." said Alexander Jannink, Managing Director and Founder of Acusensus. "Governments around the world are working to reduce road fatalities, and we want to support them," said Duncan Murcott, Chief Customer Officer at Acusensus, "Our systems already operate in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand, and what we build here in Ingleburn will help more people arrive home safely, every day." Since 2020, Acusensus has worked with Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (SCIA) to create employment for people with spinal cord injuries, including those affected by road trauma. People with disabilities make up 6% of the Acusensus workforce, supported by accessible workspaces and flexible work arrangements. Andrew Truong works as a Senior Preverifier, reviewing mobile phone and speed offences across NSW. "I feel great knowing that I am making a difference," he said. In 2024, the NSW Government added seatbelt detection and the seatbelt offence rate fell by 60% within the first year (Transport for NSW). In Queensland, Government trauma data shows unrestrained occupant fatalities fell 36%, from an average of 41 a year in 2020-2023 to 26 a year in 2024-2025, around 29 more people alive than the earlier average would have predicted (Queensland Government). In Devon and Cornwall in the United Kingdom, seatbelt offences fell 83% over three years (Vision Zero South West). "Ingleburn has been home to our NSW team since 2021, and this facility gives us room to grow," said Stephane Honore, Head of Strategic Partnerships, Acusensus. "Our technology is designed in Australia, built in NSW with local people and local suppliers, and shipped overseas. We thank Minister Chanthivong for opening the facility, and to Spinal Cord Injuries Australia for our ongoing partnership." Federal Member for Macarthur, Dr Mike Freelander MP, said: "The establishment of this innovative manufacturing facility in Western Sydney is providing world-class technology and employment opportunities locally. This facility in Ingleburn will support nearly 80 skilled local jobs, boosting our economy while providing a launchpad for Australian innovation to expand further and is a significant milestone for our community." Member for Campbelltown, Greg Warren MP, said: "I am proud to support local jobs and manufacturing that not only benefits our local community, but delivers positive safety outcomes for road users across our state." "I also consider this a display of confidence in the west and southwest Sydney economy, which is established as the third-largest in Australia." "Campbelltown is proud to be home to innovative businesses like Acusensus that are creating skilled local jobs while developing technology with a global impact. The expansion of this facility in Ingleburn is a vote of confidence in our city's growing manufacturing and innovation sector and highlights the important role Campbelltown plays in driving economic growth across South Western Sydney," said Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Darcy Lound. "It's especially rewarding to see a company that not only leads the world in road safety technology but also creates meaningful employment opportunities through partnerships such as its work with Spinal Cord Injuries Australia. I congratulate Acusensus on this significant milestone and look forward to supporting its continued growth in Campbelltown," said Cr Lound.

Road safety detector expands footprint to meet demand. Derek RoseAAP 1 November 2026, 10:02am An Australian-made roadside system that uses artificial intelligence and cameras to detect drivers using mobile phones is expanding as its technology sparks international interest. Stock exchange-listed Acusensus on Monday will officially open a new manufacturing facility in Ingleburn, NSW. It is three times the size of its previous plant in the southwestern Sydney suburb. The company's fixed and portable roadside camera systems are used across Australia and New Zealand, along with in parts of the US and UK, to detect motorists using smartphones. Chief executive Alexander Jannink founded the company in 2018, five years after losing a close friend to a distracted driver in Los Angeles. It was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2023. In August, the Melbourne-based company reported a full-year revenue jump of 45 per cent to $86.2 million, with its revenue from international sources climbing to $22.9 million, up from $4.2 million a year earlier. While its net loss for the year widened to $24.3 million, from $2.6 million a year earlier, most of that was due to a one-off legal settlement involving an intellectual property dispute with a competitor. Transport for NSW was Acusensus's first customer when the state became the world's first jurisdiction to launch a mobile phone detection camera enforcement system in December 2019. When first deployed, the firm's 10 transportable and 11 fixed cameras detected mobile phone use by about one in 100 motorists, according to the company. The rate fell to one driver in 1208 using a mobile phone by 2025/26. "It's quite a shift in driver behaviour and we've seen that in the other jurisdictions as well," Mr Jannink told AAP. "Each of the programs has also coincided with some pretty strong fatality reductions." Transport for NSW also has a mobile speed camera contract with the firm, which it extended in June through the end of 2026 at a cost of $16 million. Acusensus's phone-detecting system uses radar and high-resolution cameras taken at a very steep angle to peer into vehicles with an AI system then analysing each image for signs of mobile phone use. Images are automatically cropped to show only the driver before being presented to humans for multiple rounds of review. In addition to Transport for NSW, Acusensus has contracts with authorities in multiple other Australian states and territories, as well as NZ and 12 US jurisdictions. Its cameras are deployed under a services contract, costing agencies between $5 million and $10 million annually. Acusensus deploys and maintains its equipment, and conducts the first level of human review. It has about 400 employees globally, including about 80 based in NSW, and is working on a new system to detect motorists impaired by drugs, alcohol or dangerous levels of fatigue. "For example, random breath tests, everybody gets pulled over, but what if we could inform the police ahead?" Mr Jannink said. Deployed ahead of roadside sobriety tests, Acusensus's cameras might be able to tell police which drivers are likely to test positive, letting them leave the sober, attentive drivers alone, he added.
