The law in New South Wales

The legal boundaries matter, and a good investigator will raise them before you do. Observation in a public place is generally lawful. Devices are what the law controls. In New South Wales the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW) governs listening devices, optical devices, tracking devices and data surveillance, and licensing of investigators falls under the Security Industry Act 1997 (NSW), administered by the Security Licensing and Enforcement Directorate. Doing it properly is slower on some jobs. It is also the only version that survives contact with a courtroom.

Frequently asked questions

Will anybody know I hired an investigator?

No. Our work is covert, our vehicles are unmarked and we report only to you, using whatever contact method you tell us is safe.

How soon can you start in Sydney?

For most matters we can be working within twenty four to forty eight hours, and faster where the situation is urgent.

Can you put a tracking device on a vehicle?

Only where it is lawful, which generally means a vehicle you own. The Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW) restricts tracking devices and we will not breach it.

What do you need from me to start?

Whatever you already have. Names, addresses, vehicle details, dates and times, screenshots. You do not need it organised before you call.

Are you licensed?

We hold NSW Master Licence 412080174 and VIC Master Licence Z6583160S, and we trade as GORA Investigations Pty Ltd, ABN 34 600 932 438.
