Private Investigators in Australian Capital Territory

Sydney Private Investigations covers Australian Capital Territory, a territory of around four hundred and seventy thousand people built on public administration, defence, higher education, research and professional services. We have been investigating since 2002 and we work across the Canberra districts and the surrounding capital region. Call 1300 773 293 at any hour and speak to an investigator rather than a receptionist.

Covering distance in Australian Capital Territory

Covering Australian Capital Territory means working across the Canberra districts and the surrounding capital region. Distance is the main constraint, so we plan around it: we confirm the ground before an operative is committed, and we tell you when travel time is going to make a job uneconomic rather than billing you for a day in a car.

Investigation law in Australian Capital Territory

Two bodies of law matter most. The first is the Listening Devices Act 1992 (ACT), which controls listening devices, optical surveillance devices, tracking devices and data surveillance. It is the reason a competent investigator will refuse to put a tracker on a car you do not own or record a conversation they are not part of.

The second is licensing. Investigators working in Australian Capital Territory are regulated under the territory security industry legislation. Where a locally licensed operative is required for work in Australian Capital Territory, we engage one. We will never pretend a licence exists that does not.

Matters that end up in court in Australian Capital Territory are generally heard in the ACT Magistrates Court and the ACT Supreme Court. Family law matters are heard federally in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. Evidence has to be gathered with that destination in mind from the first day, not tidied up afterwards.

Who you are dealing with

A few facts about us, so you can check them. Sydney Private Investigations has been operating since 2002 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 Australian Capital Territory is conducted in accordance with the territory security industry legislation, and where a locally licensed operative is required we engage one rather than cutting a corner.

If your matter really belongs with police or with a solicitor, we will tell you that instead of selling you surveillance.

Frequently asked questions

Do you actually cover all of Australian Capital Territory?

Yes, and we are honest about how. We travel, and where a matter needs a locally licensed operative we engage one. Travel is quoted separately so you can see what you are paying for.

Is surveillance legal in Australian Capital Territory?

Observing somebody in a public place is generally lawful. Using devices is what the Listening Devices Act 1992 (ACT) restricts, and we work strictly inside it.

How much will it cost?

Surveillance is hourly with a minimum engagement. Searches, traces and checks are usually fixed fee. You get a number before anything starts.

Can you help with a family law matter?

Often, yes. Australian family law is no fault, so an affair by itself does not shift a property settlement, but evidence about parenting, residence and finances can matter a great deal.

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.
