Corporate Investigations in Mandurah

Commercial investigations need to be handled in a way that protects the business while the facts are still uncertain. We work with employers, directors and their lawyers throughout Mandurah to establish what happened, document it properly and keep it contained. If the answer is that you do not need us, we will tell you that.

Mandurah is a fast growing estuary city an hour south of Perth. Call 1300 773 293 at any hour, or read on for how we handle corporate investigations here.

What Mandurah is like to work in

Working in Mandurah means understanding a canal and waterway city with a heavy commuter flow to the capital. 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 Halls Head, Falcon, Pinjarra, Rockingham, Dawesville and Waroona, and we travel further into Western Australia where a matter calls for it.

How the work is actually done in Mandurah

We meet with you, and usually your lawyer, to define the question and the risks
We agree what a good outcome looks like and what you intend to do with the findings
We keep working papers in a form your lawyer can review
Findings are documented as they are established rather than assembled at the end
We report factually and separate what is proven from what is suspected
We brief you at agreed intervals rather than disappearing until the end

The cost of corporate investigations in Mandurah

Here is how the billing works, without the vagueness. Commercial matters are scoped and quoted rather than run open ended. For most engagements in Mandurah we propose a staged approach with a review point, so you can stop once you have what you need instead of funding an investigation that has outlived its purpose. We will also tell you when we think you are about to spend money for very little return.

Corporate Investigations and the law in Western Australia

It is worth being clear about the legal position. Workplace investigations sit inside employment law, privacy law and the Surveillance Devices Act 1998 (WA) in Western Australia. Monitoring employees, in particular, is subject to real limits. We advise on what can be done lawfully before anything starts, and we keep the evidence chain clean so that findings survive scrutiny in a tribunal or a court. If we are asked to do something that falls outside those rules, we will say no and explain why, and we will suggest a lawful way at the same problem.

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.

About our agency

It is a reasonable thing to ask, so here are our details. 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.

There is no obligation attached to the first conversation, and no pressure applied in it.

Frequently asked questions

Can you investigate an employee without telling them?

Covert enquiries are lawful in defined circumstances, but employee monitoring is regulated. We will advise on where the line sits in Western Australia before anything begins.

Will your findings survive a tribunal?

That is the point of doing it properly. We document contemporaneously, keep original material intact and provide statements where needed.

Do you work directly with our lawyers?

Frequently. Where legal privilege matters, being engaged through your solicitor can be the better structure and we are comfortable working that way.

Can you do pre employment and due diligence checks?

Yes. Corporate searches, directorship histories, litigation records and identity verification are standard parts of our commercial work.

What does it cost to start?

We scope first and quote a defined stage. You will know the number before we begin work.
