Acusensus has secured an $11.2 million contract expansion with the Western Australian Road Safety Commission to deploy fixed-site enforcement technology statewide from the second half of 2026 through 2027. This follows a $13 million trailer-based contract expansion announced earlier in February 2026, bringing the combined Acusensus WA contract expansion value to $24.2 million (excluding GST) within a single month.
Acusensus secures $11.2 million WA contract expansion for fixed-site enforcement rollout
The contract variation expands the fixed-site multi-function enforcement agreement originally signed in September 2025 with the WA Road Safety Commission, a unit of the Western Australian Police Force. The initial programme deployed safety camera technology on the Mitchell Freeway and Kwinana Freeway to detect multiple traffic offences simultaneously.
This expansion will see new fixed solutions progressively deployed throughout Western Australia from the second half of 2026 and throughout 2027. The $11.2 million incremental contract value (excluding GST) reflects growing government confidence in Acusensus technology following successful initial deployments.
The dual contract expansions announced in February 2026 provide the company with revenue visibility extending into 2027. The combined $24.2 million in WA contract expansions signals strong government commitment to AI-enabled enforcement infrastructure.
What the fixed-site expansion covers
The fixed-site enforcement system detects and captures prosecutable evidence of multiple road safety violations from a single infrastructure deployment:
- Mobile phone use whilst driving
- Seatbelt compliance violations
- Point-in-time speeding offences
- Average speed enforcement over set distances
- Red X lane violations
- Unlicensed vehicle detection
Existing deployments on the Mitchell Freeway and Kwinana Freeway will be complemented by new sites progressively rolled out statewide. This multi-function capability means a single fixed installation generates enforcement data across six distinct offence categories, maximising infrastructure utilisation and government return on investment.

How AI-powered road safety enforcement works
Acusensus develops artificial intelligence-enabled road safety solutions that capture digital evidence meeting legal prosecution standards. The company’s technology combines AI detection algorithms with advanced sensing systems to identify road safety violations in real time.
Fixed-site enforcement systems use permanently installed infrastructure to monitor traffic continuously at specific high-risk locations. Trailer-based solutions provide mobile enforcement capability that can be relocated as required. Both deployment models use the same core AI technology to detect violations and generate prosecutable evidence.
The company was founded in 2018 with a mission to tackle distracted driving and listed on the ASX in January 2023. Acusensus technology is used to detect mobile phone use, seatbelt compliance, speeding, railway crossing violations and vehicle monitoring across multiple jurisdictions.
February 2026 contract momentum in Western Australia
The dual contract expansions announced this month reflect deepening government partnership between Acusensus and the WA Road Safety Commission. The trailer-based expansion announced earlier in February 2026 carried an incremental value of $13 million (excluding GST), followed by this $11.2 million fixed-site variation.
Alexander Jannink, Founder and Managing Director
“Following the expansion of the trailer-based multi-function enforcement contract with the Road Safety Commission earlier this month, we are delighted to also be progressing the fixed site expansion with this new variation. We are pleased that our ongoing partnerships with the WA Road Safety Commission will assist its ability to enforce key road safety behaviours.”
Management’s reference to “ongoing partnerships” suggests expectation of further collaboration opportunities within this jurisdiction as the programme scales statewide.
Contract value breakdown and deployment timeline
The February 2026 contract expansions provide structured revenue visibility across multiple deployment phases:
| Contract Component | Value | Deployment Period |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed-site expansion (this announcement) | $11.2 million | H2 2026 through 2027 |
| Trailer-based expansion (February 2026) | $13 million | Announced earlier this month |
| Combined February 2026 WA expansions | $24.2 million | Through 2027 |
The staggered deployment schedule spreads revenue recognition across multiple periods whilst de-risking execution. Progressive rollout from the second half of 2026 allows the company to scale operations in phases rather than requiring simultaneous deployment of all new sites.
All contract values exclude GST, with actual revenue dependent on meeting deployment milestones throughout the contract period.

What this means for Acusensus investors
Western Australia serves as a strategic reference jurisdiction demonstrating the effectiveness of Acusensus technology to other Australian states and international markets. The company operates a global footprint with headquarters in Melbourne and offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, London, Las Vegas and Hartford Connecticut.
Successful Australian deployments provide proof points supporting expansion into other markets. Government enforcement contracts generate recurring service revenue as the company maintains and operates the technology infrastructure rather than selling equipment outright.
The WA Road Safety Commission’s decision to expand both fixed-site and trailer-based deployments within a single month validates the technology’s operational performance and legal robustness. This creates reference case studies useful for sales conversations in other jurisdictions evaluating road safety enforcement technology.
Next steps and outlook
New fixed sites will be progressively deployed throughout Western Australia from the second half of 2026 and throughout 2027. The infrastructure-as-a-service model means Acusensus continues to provide technology services across the contract period rather than completing deployment and exiting.
The WA partnership has now progressed through initial deployment, validation of results, and multiple contract expansions within approximately 12 months of the original September 2025 agreement. This trajectory suggests potential for further contract variations as the WA government assesses programme effectiveness and considers expanding coverage to additional locations or offence types.
