Private Investigator Balmain

Working in Balmain

Working in Balmain means understanding narrow one way streets and limited parking, which changes how an operative has to work. Balmain is an inner west peninsula of terraces and waterfront pubs, and 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 Rozelle, Birchgrove, Leichhardt, Drummoyne and Annandale, and throughout the rest of Sydney.

Investigation law in New South Wales

People ask about the law here more than anything else, so here it is plainly. 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. Getting this wrong does not just cost you the evidence. It can expose you personally, which is the opposite of why you called.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use what you find in court?

Material gathered lawfully and documented properly is generally admissible. We keep original files unaltered and can provide a statement from the operative if a matter proceeds.

How soon can you start in Balmain?

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 if you cannot help me?

We will say so. There are matters that belong with police, with a lawyer or with nobody at all, and we would rather tell you that than take your money.

How will I receive the report?

In writing, with an indexed log and any supporting media. We can send it to you directly or straight to your solicitor.
