Private investigator Melbourne

Most briefs come from insurers, loss adjusters, law firms, employers and corporate risk teams operating in Victoria. We also accept instructions from private clients on family, property and personal matters where lawful investigation is appropriate. Every enquiry is reviewed by a senior investigator before work is accepted.

Yes. Our Melbourne office coordinates Victorian and Tasmanian briefs under the same senior case management structure. Hobart and regional Tasmania deployments are scoped in writing, with travel and timing confirmed before field work begins.

Workers compensation verification, insurance surveillance, public liability fact-finding, locate and welfare checks, and background inquiry are frequent instructions in Melbourne and regional VIC. Complex files often combine field work with desktop research and structured reporting for claims or legal review.

Greater Melbourne instructions can often be actioned within one to two business days once scope and terms are agreed. Regional Victoria and Tasmania may require additional lead time for travel and resourcing. Urgent matters are assessed at intake and prioritised where capacity allows.

Yes. We work with insurers, self-insurers and scheme agents on return-to-work verification, injury claim inquiry and activity monitoring. Reports are prepared for claims handlers and legal teams in a format suited to Victorian workers compensation review.

We deploy across the CBD, Southbank, Docklands, inner north and inner south, bayside suburbs, the eastern and south-eastern corridors, western suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula. Regional briefs regularly include Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and Gippsland, with Tasmania covered when instructed.

A senior investigator reviews your objectives, location, timeframe and reporting requirements before issuing a written quotation. Fixed-scope desktop or locate work is priced differently to multi-day surveillance or multi-subject field inquiry. There is no charge for the initial scoping discussion.

Lawfully obtained material can support Victorian proceedings, including Magistrates', County and Supreme Court matters and tribunal work where permitted. We prepare chronologies, statements and surveillance records for solicitor review. Usability always depends on how evidence was gathered and the rules applying to the forum.

Solicitor instructions are handled under strict confidentiality from intake. We confirm scope, identify any conflict considerations, and assign a senior investigator to supervise the file. Updates and final reporting are delivered through agreed channels suitable for legal file management.

Useful starting points include a clear summary of the issue, relevant dates, known addresses or workplaces, names of persons of interest, and what outcome you need from the investigation. If court orders, intervention orders or active proceedings apply, share those at intake so scope can be planned appropriately.
