Private Investigator Chatswood

Local conditions in Chatswood

Working in Chatswood means understanding a dense mix of towers, transport and retail where foot traffic is constant. Chatswood is a high rise commercial hub on the lower north shore, 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 Willoughby, Artarmon, Lane Cove, Roseville and North Ryde, and throughout the rest of Sydney.

What the law allows 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

Is surveillance legal in New South Wales?

Observing somebody in a public place is generally lawful. Using devices is what the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW) restricts, and we work strictly inside it.

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.

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