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 licences across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and the ACT — meaning we can operate legally in these major Australian cities. All evidence we collect is gathered within the bounds of the law and is admissible in court proceedings.
Private investigator fees in Australia generally range from $100 to $250 per hour depending on the complexity of the case, the type of investigation, and the location. Surveillance work, for example, may be priced differently from a straightforward background check. Truth Investigations provides a transparent pricing guide and offers a free initial consultation so you understand costs upfront before committing. We work with clients to establish a clear budget and scope of work, ensuring there are no hidden fees.
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 fully licensed across five jurisdictions: NSW (Licence 410944186), Victoria (Licence 93454780S), Queensland (Licence 4073789), South Australia (Licence 339490), and the ACT (Licence 8116185274). Operating without a licence is a criminal offence in Australia, so always verify your investigator’s credentials before engaging their services.
To find a licensed private investigator in your area, start by verifying their credentials through your state’s licensing authority — for example, NSW Fair Trading, Victoria Police Licensing, or the Queensland Office of Fair Trading. 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 operates from offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Canberra, and Adelaide, and has served 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, ensuring all evidence gathered is court admissible.
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.
