Minister opens Acusensus’s new Ingleburn facility, bringing Australian-designed road safety technology home to NSW
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.
