How do I hire a private investigator in Canberra?

Look for an experienced agency with insurance, a written quote before any work begins and clear reporting. The ACT does not license private investigators, so ask about the agency’s licences elsewhere: Truth Investigations operates in the ACT under ABN 81 161 852 704 and holds NSW Master Security Licence 410944186, which you can check on the Service NSW register.

The cost depends on the type of investigation, the time required and the work involved. 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. Tell us about your circumstances and we will give you an assessment and a clear quote before you agree to anything. Every enquiry is handled in complete confidence.
