Cheating Spouse Investigations in Melbourne

Most of the people who call us about a partner in Melbourne say the same thing: they do not want to be the sort of person who does this, and they cannot go on as they are. We understand that. We gather the facts carefully, we tell you what we find, and quite often what we find is that nothing is going on. You will not be judged for asking, and you will not be pressured into proceeding.

Melbourne is the largest city in Victoria and one of the two biggest markets in the country. Call 1300 773 293 at any hour, or read on for how we handle cheating spouse investigations here.

Local conditions in Melbourne

Working in Melbourne means understanding a sprawling grid of suburbs where a single subject can cross a dozen council areas in a day. Our operatives plan around that rather than turning up and hoping. Where a matter runs across several days we rotate vehicles and positions so that a familiar car never becomes part of the scenery.

We work regularly across Dandenong, Frankston, Werribee, Box Hill, Preston, Footscray, Ringwood and Cranbourne, and we travel further into Victoria where a matter calls for it.

Surveillance is conducted on the days and times most likely to produce an answer
We stop and review with you after each session rather than committing you to a block
We contact you the way you have asked us to, at times that are safe for you
You receive a clear written report and we talk you through what it means

Cheating Spouse Investigations and the law in Victoria

People ask about the law here more than anything else, so here it is plainly. We only use lawful methods. That matters more here than anywhere else. In Victoria, the Surveillance Devices Act 1999 (Vic) controls listening devices, cameras and tracking devices, and using them on a partner without authority can be a criminal offence as well as destroying the value of anything you gather. We will not place a tracker on a car you do not own, we will not record a private conversation we are not party to, and we will not access somebody else’s phone or email accounts. Doing it properly is slower on some jobs. It is also the only version that survives contact with a courtroom.

This is general information rather than legal advice. If your matter is already before a court, speak to your solicitor about what evidence will assist and we will work to that brief.

What it costs

Nobody enjoys asking what this costs, so we will get to it first. Work of this kind is charged hourly with a minimum engagement, and we are upfront about it because the last thing you need is an open ended bill. In many cases a single well chosen window across Melbourne answers the question. We would rather tell you that than sell you a week of surveillance you do not need. If we think a smaller job will answer your question, we will propose the smaller job.

Our credentials

If your matter really belongs with police or with a solicitor, we will tell you that instead of selling you surveillance.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get into their phone or messages?

No. Accessing another person’s device or accounts without authority is a criminal offence. Any investigator who offers to do it is telling you they are willing to break the law on your behalf.

What if nothing is going on?

That happens more often than people expect, and it is a genuinely good outcome. We report exactly what we observed, including when we observed nothing of concern.

Will this help in a family law matter?

Australian family law is no fault, so an affair by itself does not change a property settlement. Evidence can still matter for parenting arrangements, for tracing money and for establishing who a child is being exposed to.

How discreet is the first phone call?

Completely. Call 1300 773 293 at any hour. We can arrange contact times and a reporting method that works for your situation.

How long does an investigation usually take?

Many matters in Melbourne are resolved within one to three surveillance sessions. We review with you after each one rather than committing you to a long block.
