What does a private investigator do during a surveillance investigation?
A surveillance investigation is the discreet, lawful monitoring of a person, location, or activity by a licensed private investigator to obtain clear, factual evidence. Professional surveillance may involve mobile surveillance (following a subject on foot or by vehicle), static surveillance (monitoring a residence or workplace), and the strategic use of legally deployed technology to capture time-stamped visual evidence. Surveillance is one of the most effective investigative methods for documenting a person’s movements, behaviours, associations, and daily activities. It is commonly used in insurance investigations, workplace misconduct matters, family law disputes, fraud investigations, and infidelity cases. At Truth Investigations, we conduct both single-day surveillance assignments and complex, ongoing operations that span multiple days or weeks. Where required, we deploy multi-agent surveillance teams to maintain continuity, reduce detection risk, and ensure comprehensive coverage across metropolitan and regional areas. Our structured operational planning, real-time coordination, and detailed evidentiary reporting ensure clients receive accurate, court-ready material. Whether the matter requires a short, targeted surveillance operation or a sustained investigation with multiple investigators, Truth Investigations delivers discreet, professional, and results-driven surveillance services across Australia.
Surveillance costs in Australia typically range from $130 to $250 per hour, depending on the complexity of the operation, the number of operatives required, and the location. A single-day surveillance operation might cost between $1,500 and $3,500, while extended operations will vary. Truth Investigations provides a detailed cost estimate during your free consultation, and we always work within an agreed budget.
Yes. Licensed private investigators can legally conduct surveillance in public places across Australia. This includes observing, photographing, and video recording subjects in areas where they have no reasonable expectation of privacy — such as streets, shopping centres, parks, and other public locations. There are legal restrictions around surveillance on private property and the interception of communications. Truth Investigations ensures all surveillance is conducted within the law.
Surveillance can provide photographic and video evidence of a subject’s movements, meetings, and activities; time-stamped records of a subject’s location; evidence of infidelity or breach of relationship agreements; proof of insurance fraud or workers’ compensation fraud; evidence for family law custody disputes; and confirmation of policy violations or corporate misconduct. All evidence gathered by Truth Investigations is prepared for court admissibility.
The duration of a surveillance operation depends on the objectives and the subject’s behaviour. A basic fact-finding surveillance might last one to three days, while more complex cases — such as ongoing infidelity monitoring or insurance fraud investigations — may extend over several weeks. Truth Investigations will recommend an appropriate surveillance plan based on your goals and budget.
Licensed private investigators conducting lawful surveillance are not engaging in stalking. However, they must operate within the law at all times. Surveillance must be conducted in public places and must not involve harassment, intimidation, or threats. Truth Investigations’ operativesare trained to conduct surveillance discreetly and lawfully, ensuring compliance with all relevant legislation including anti-stalking laws.
Effective surveillance relies on the subject being unaware they are being observed. Truth Investigations’ operatives are highly trained in covert surveillance techniques and use unmarked vehicles, appropriate cover, and professional tradecraft to remain undetected. If a subject becomes aware of surveillance, the operation is typically paused or adjusted to preserve the integrity of the investigation.
Yes. Surveillance evidence is frequently used in family law proceedings in Australia, particularly in custody disputes, property settlement matters, and cases involving allegations of domestic violence or substance abuse. The evidence must be gathered lawfully by a licensed investigator to be admissible. Truth Investigations works closely with family law solicitors to ensure our evidence meets court requirements.
