How do I find a licensed private investigator in Sydney?

Check the licence yourself on the Service NSW security licence check, by name, licence number or ABN. In NSW, investigator licences are issued under the Security Industry Act 1997 and administered by the NSW Police Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED); process servers also need a separate Commercial Agent Licence from NSW Fair Trading. It is also reasonable to ask for proof of insurance, a written quote before work begins, and an outline of what the final report will look like.

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 NSW Commercial Agent Licence CAL000011789 (current to March 2027), and the investigators who work on your matter hold their own individual NSW security licences.

The cost depends on the type of investigation, the time required and the work involved. Surveillance, for example, may need more than one investigator in busy parts of the city. 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.

Sydney private investigators provide covert surveillance, background checks, infidelity investigations, family law evidence gathering, corporate investigations, digital investigations, locating people, process serving, counter-surveillance and bug sweeps, insurance fraud investigations and litigation support. Truth Investigations offers all of these across Greater Sydney from our Bondi Junction office (Denison Street, by appointment).

Private investigators in NSW must be licensed under the Security Industry Act 1997, administered by NSW Police SLED, and must work within the law, including the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW). A licensed investigator can lawfully observe and document a person’s movements in public places, search public records and, with the right licence, serve legal documents. They cannot fit tracking devices to someone else’s car, record private conversations without consent, enter private property, access private accounts or impersonate police, and a licensed investigator will decline requests that fall outside the law. This is general information, not legal advice.

Yes. We lawfully document care arrangements, living circumstances and welfare concerns, locate a parent, and identify assets and business activity through public records and observation for your lawyer to pursue through disclosure. Our reports are dated, unedited and documented, prepared to a standard suitable for legal proceedings, with the investigator available to give evidence if required. Whether material is admitted is a matter for the court and your lawyer.

Ask the investigator for their licence number and check it on the Service NSW security licence check. In NSW, investigator licences are administered by NSW Police SLED, not NSW Fair Trading; if the agency also serves documents, it should hold a separate Commercial Agent Licence from NSW Fair Trading. Truth’s details: NSW Master Security Licence 410944186 (licensee Cryptico Consulting Pty Ltd, business name Truth Investigations, ABN 81 161 852 704) and Commercial Agent Licence CAL000011789.

Yes. Truth Investigations operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We understand that investigation matters can arise at any time, and many surveillance operations need to be conducted outside standard business hours. Call us on 1800 878 847 at any time.

All of Greater Sydney, from our Bondi Junction office (Denison Street, by appointment): the Eastern Suburbs, Sydney CBD and inner suburbs, Inner West, Lower North Shore and Northern Beaches, Canterbury-Bankstown, Western Sydney and Parramatta, and Penrith and the outer west. We do not keep offices in the suburbs; investigators travel to wherever the matter is, and regional NSW is covered by arrangement.

Look for an agency that holds the right licences for the work: a NSW security licence administered by NSW Police SLED for investigation and surveillance, and a separate Commercial Agent Licence from NSW Fair Trading for process serving. Beyond licensing, check experience with your type of matter, verified client reviews, insurance, a written quote before work begins and clear reporting. Truth Investigations has served Sydney clients since 2013, holds NSW Master Security Licence 410944186 and Commercial Agent Licence CAL000011789, and has assisted over 5,000 clients.
