Bug Sweeping in Bunbury

Nobody plans to need an investigator. If you have the feeling that somebody knows things they should not, there is often a reason for it. We conduct technical surveillance counter measures across Bunbury, sweeping homes, offices, boardrooms and vehicles for listening devices, hidden cameras, trackers and unauthorised transmitters. Everything you tell us stays between us.

Bunbury is the second city of Western Australia and the centre of the South West. Call 1300 773 293 at any hour, or read on for how we handle bug sweeping here.

What Bunbury is like to work in

Working in Bunbury means understanding a port and industrial town at the top of the wine and tourism region. 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 Australind, Eaton, Busselton, Collie, Harvey and Dunsborough, and we travel further into Western Australia where a matter calls for it.

How we run bug sweeping in Bunbury

1. We discuss the situation and identify which spaces genuinely need sweeping
2. We attend discreetly, often outside business hours, so the sweep itself is not advertised
3. A radio frequency sweep identifies active transmitting devices
4. We photograph and document anything found in place before it is touched
5. Network and line checks are conducted where relevant
6. We advise on which conversations to keep out of the space until it is cleared

What it costs

We would rather talk about money early than surprise you later. Sweeps are quoted by the number and size of the areas to be covered. A single vehicle or a home office in Bunbury is a straightforward fixed fee. A full commercial premises takes longer and is quoted after a short scoping conversation. Travel outside Bunbury is charged separately. You can stop at any review point. We do not lock people into blocks they no longer need.

Bug Sweeping and the law in Western Australia

The legal boundaries matter, and a good investigator will raise them before you do. The use of listening and optical devices is controlled in Western Australia by the Surveillance Devices Act 1998 (WA), and installing one to record a private conversation you are not part of is generally a criminal offence. If we locate a device, we advise you on preserving it properly rather than pulling it out, because how it is handled affects whether it can be used later in a police complaint or a court matter. Getting this wrong does not just cost you the evidence. It can expose you personally, which is the opposite of why you called.

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.

Who you are dealing with

Anybody can claim experience. Here is what can be verified. 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 Western Australia is conducted in accordance with the Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996 (WA), administered by Western Australia Police, and where a locally licensed operative is required we engage one rather than cutting a corner.

We are not a call centre that farms work out to whoever answers. You speak to an investigator, and if we cannot help we will say so rather than take a deposit.

Frequently asked questions

Should I tell my staff about the sweep?

Usually not. If somebody inside the organisation is responsible, advance warning gives them time to remove the device and reinstall it later.

What happens if you find something?

We stop, preserve the scene and advise you. Depending on the situation the right next step may be a police report, a legal letter or quiet monitoring. We do not simply rip it out and hand it to you.

Can you sweep a car?

Yes. Vehicle sweeps are one of the most common requests we get, particularly where a tracker is suspected.

How long does a sweep take?

A vehicle or a single room takes about an hour. A house or a small office is usually half a day. Larger commercial premises take longer.

Do you sweep in regional Western Australia?

Yes. We travel throughout the state and charge travel transparently.
