Cheating Spouse Investigations in Adelaide

Most of the people who call us about a partner in Adelaide 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.

Adelaide is the capital of South Australia and a compact, well planned city. Call 1300 773 293 at any hour, or read on for how we handle cheating spouse investigations here.

Local conditions in Adelaide

Working in Adelaide means understanding a city on a plain between the hills and the gulf, with predictable movement corridors. 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 Port Adelaide, Glenelg, Salisbury, Elizabeth, Marion, Norwood and Mount Barker, and we travel further into South Australia where a matter calls for it.

Cheating Spouse Investigations and the law in South Australia

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 South Australia, the Surveillance Devices Act 2016 (SA) 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 Adelaide 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

You are entitled to know who you are hiring. Sydney Private Investigations has been operating since 2001 and trades as GORA Investigations Pty Ltd, ABN 34 600 932 438. We hold NSW Master Licence 412080174 and VIC Master Licence Z6583160S. Work in South Australia is conducted in accordance with the Security and Investigation Industry Act 1995 (SA), administered by Consumer and Business Services, and where a locally licensed operative is required we engage one rather than cutting a corner.

We do not use aggressive sales scripts and we do not chase people who decide against proceeding. If the answer is no, that is a perfectly fine answer.

Frequently asked questions

Can you put a tracker on their car?

Only where it is lawful, which generally means a vehicle you own. The Surveillance Devices Act 2016 (SA) restricts tracking devices and we will not breach it, both because it is illegal and because it would poison your evidence.

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.

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