Source: WA Police Force crime statistics, locality data (selected offences), 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Rockingham as defined by the source. Figures are counts of offences recorded by police for the whole suburb, not rates per resident. Busy centres draw workers, shoppers and visitors, so their counts are higher. Recorded crime also depends on what is reported and how it is policed, and past figures do not predict future risk.

Rockingham security tip
Pick hardware that can handle salt air
Salt air off Cockburn Sound corrodes cheap cameras, padlocks and door hardware faster than inland. Near the water, ask for marine-grade or stainless locks and hinges, cameras rated IP66 or better with sealed connectors, and a service check each year. Replacing a seized lock or a fogged camera after a break-in costs more than choosing the right gear first.
Rockingham homes and what they mean for security
Rockingham's older streets have single-storey brick-and-tile homes on medium blocks, many with a garage or carport and a back gate onto a laneway or reserve. Units and apartments face the foreshore and the beach, and the surrounding area has grown with newer estates to the south and east. Holiday rentals and homes used only part of the year sit alongside permanent residents, so monitored alarms and cameras that can be checked remotely are common requests.
