Working in Canberra

Working in Canberra means understanding a planned city of distinct town centres separated by open space. 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 Belconnen, Woden, Tuggeranong, Gungahlin, Queanbeyan and Civic.

Investigation law in Australian Capital Territory

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 Australian Capital Territory the Listening Devices Act 1992 (ACT) governs listening devices, optical devices, tracking devices and data surveillance, and licensing of investigators falls under the territory security industry legislation. Getting this wrong does not just cost you the evidence. It can expose you personally, which is the opposite of why you called.

About our agency

You are entitled to know who you are hiring. 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.

We do not use aggressive sales scripts and we do not chase people who decide against proceeding. If the answer is no, that is a perfectly fine answer.
