Are you actually licensed to do this in Australia?

Yes. We hold a Queensland Private Investigator licence and Fraud Investigator licence, and operate lawfully across Australia and New Zealand. Insurance and licence numbers are provided on engagement.

What can a private investigator legally do?

We work strictly within Australian privacy and surveillance law — observation in public, lawful database checks, OSINT, witness interviews and evidence capture. We do not bug phones, hack accounts or conduct unlawful tracking, and we will tell you upfront if a request crosses that line.

How is this different from the digital forensics work?

Investigation work happens out in the world — people, places, documents and observation. Digital forensics happens to devices and accounts. Most matters benefit from both, and we run them together as one engagement with one report.

Will the subject know they're being investigated?

Not from us. Discretion is the point. Surveillance, enquiries and OSINT are conducted so the subject and their associates remain unaware until you choose to act.

Can the evidence be used in court?

Yes. Imagery, statements and reports are collected and documented to Australian evidentiary standards, suitable for family-court, civil and criminal proceedings, AVO applications and insurance disputes.

How much does an investigation cost?

It depends on scope. Most matters are quoted at a fixed fee or with a clear cap after a confidential intake call. There are no open-ended hourly arrangements without your written agreement.

How do I get started?

Send a brief through our contact form. A licensed investigator will reply within one business day with a clear scope, fixed-fee quote and timeframe.

The Approach

Lawful, licensed,
written-into-record.

We operate under a Queensland PI licence and Fraud Investigator licence, with full insurance and a forensic lab next door. Every step of an engagement is auditable and every output is something a solicitor, magistrate or board can rely on.

The same investigator who runs the surveillance can sign the affidavit, attend conference and — where required — give evidence in court.
