Private Investigators in Gold Coast

Sydney Private Investigations has been investigating since 2002. We work throughout Gold Coast, a coastal city of more than six hundred thousand people on the New South Wales border, and across the wider Queensland region. We will give you a straight assessment of whether this is worth doing at all.

What Gold Coast is like to work in

Working in Gold Coast means understanding a tourism and construction economy with a very high number of short term residents. 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 Surfers Paradise, Southport, Robina, Coolangatta, Nerang and Burleigh Heads.

Legal limits in Queensland

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 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. Getting this wrong does not just cost you the evidence. It can expose you personally, which is the opposite of why you called.

Who we are

It is a reasonable thing to ask, so here are our details. 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.

There is no obligation attached to the first conversation, and no pressure applied in it.
