A licensed private investigator in Australia conducts lawful investigations on behalf of individuals and businesses. Services typically include surveillance, background checks, locating missing persons, fraud investigations, digital forensics, family law evidence gathering, and corporate investigations. At Truth Investigations, our team holds investigator licences in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia and also works in the ACT — meaning we can operate legally in these major Australian cities. All evidence we collect is gathered within the law and prepared to a standard suitable for legal proceedings.
The cost depends on the type of investigation, the time required and the work involved. Surveillance, for example, is priced differently from a background check. Tell us about your circumstances and we’ll give you an assessment and a clear quote before you agree to anything. Most matters are quoted by the hour or as an agreed scope, and we quote each matter on its own terms rather than publishing a flat rate. The first conversation is free and confidential, and you are under no obligation to proceed.
Yes, private investigators are entirely legal in Australia, provided they hold the appropriate state or territory licence. Each Australian state and territory has its own licensing requirements and regulatory body. Truth Investigations is licensed in NSW (Master Security Licence 410944186), Victoria (93454780S), Queensland (4073789) and South Australia (339490), and operating in the ACT under ABN 81 161 852 704. Operating without a licence is a criminal offence in Australia, so always verify your investigator’s credentials before engaging their services.
Start by checking the investigator’s licence with the regulator in their state. In New South Wales, investigator licences are issued under the Security Industry Act 1997 and administered by the NSW Police Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED); you can check any NSW licence yourself on the Service NSW “Check a security operative licence” register. Process serving is licensed separately by NSW Fair Trading. Truth Investigations is the registered business name of Cryptico Consulting Pty Ltd (ABN 81 161 852 704); the company holds NSW Master Security Licence 410944186, current to February 2028, and the investigators who work on your matter hold their own individual NSW security licences. You should also look for investigators with proven experience, genuine client reviews, and membership in professional bodies such as the World Association of Detectives. Truth Investigations has local investigators in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Adelaide and Canberra, and has assisted over 5,000 clients since 2013.
Licensed private investigators in Australia can legally conduct surveillance in public places, perform background and pre-employment checks, search public records and databases, serve legal documents, locate missing persons or debtors, gather evidence for family law and civil matters, and conduct corporate fraud investigations. They cannot break the law — meaning they cannot hack into devices, intercept communications without authority, or impersonate police officers. Truth Investigations operates strictly within the law, and the evidence we gather is prepared to a standard suitable for legal proceedings.
The duration of a private investigation depends entirely on the nature and complexity of the case. A basic background check may take 24 to 72 hours, while a surveillance operation could run from a single day to several weeks. Complex fraud investigations or missing person cases may take longer. During your free initial consultation with Truth Investigations, we will provide a realistic timeframe and keep you informed of progress at every stage.
Absolutely. Client confidentiality is a cornerstone of professional private investigation. At Truth Investigations, all information shared with us is treated with the strictest confidence. We operate under a formal confidentiality policy, and our investigators are bound by professional codes of conduct. Your identity and the details of your case will never be disclosed to third parties without your explicit written consent.
Yes, private investigators frequently assist with court cases by gathering evidence for family law proceedings, civil disputes, corporate litigation, and criminal defence matters. This can include surveillance footage, witness statements, background check reports, digital forensic analysis, and skip tracing. Truth Investigations has extensive experience preparing evidence to a standard suitable for legal proceedings, and we work closely with solicitors and barristers throughout.
