Private Investigators in Cairns

If you are here, you have probably already tried the obvious things. Sydney Private Investigations has been investigating since 2002. We work throughout Cairns, the northern gateway to the reef and the Tablelands, and across the wider Queensland region. You will not be judged for asking, and you will not be pressured into proceeding.

What Cairns is like to work in

Working in Cairns means understanding a tourism city with a highly mobile population and a large seasonal workforce. 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 regularly work across Edmonton, Smithfield, Gordonvale, Port Douglas, Atherton and Innisfail.

Legal limits in Queensland

Before anything starts, you should understand what is and is not permitted. Observation in a public place is generally lawful. Devices are what the law controls. In Queensland the Invasion of Privacy Act 1971 (Qld) governs listening devices, optical devices, tracking devices and data surveillance, and licensing of investigators falls under the Security Providers Act 1993 (Qld), administered by the Office of Fair Trading. 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.

Who we are

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 Queensland is conducted in accordance with the Security Providers Act 1993 (Qld), administered by the Office of Fair Trading, 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.
