Worried About Mum or Dad?

Your parent lives alone, says “I’m fine”, and you can’t be there as often as you’d like. Our licensed investigators can check on them for you, and look into anyone who worries you. You get photos and a written report, so you know what is really going on.

How we can help

Welfare check. An investigator visits, checks your parent is safe and well, and reports back with photos.
Regular check-ins. Weekly or monthly visits, so someone is keeping an eye out between your own visits.
A discreet look. If you are worried about who is coming and going, we watch quietly and tell you what we see.
New partner check. A new partner who moves fast, moves in, or asks for money? A background check looks at their past, court records and money trouble, before it goes too far.
Scam check. Older people are targeted by scammers more than anyone. We check their phone and messages for scams.
Safety tracker. A small SOS tracker your parent wears, so you can see where they are and they can call for help with one button.

Common questions

Will my parent know you visited?

For a welfare check, yes: the investigator speaks with them. For a discreet check on visitors, no.

Mum has a new partner and I am worried about money. What can you do?

A background check on the new partner looks at their past relationships, court records and money trouble. It gives you facts to talk to your parent about, rather than a hunch.

Do you cover areas outside Sydney?

Yes. We have investigators across Australia. Travel may be extra for regional areas, and we tell you before you book.

Is it confidential?

Completely. Your details and your family’s details are never shared.

Sydney Private Investigations is run by GORA Investigations Pty Ltd, ABN 34 600 932 438, NSW Master Licence 412080174. Everything you tell us is kept confidential.
