Private Investigator Manly

What Manly is like to work in

Working in Manly means understanding a place where arrivals and departures funnel through very few points. Manly is a northern beaches destination reached by ferry or a single road corridor, 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 Freshwater, Balgowlah, Fairlight, Dee Why and Curl Curl, and throughout the rest of Sydney.

Legal limits 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

Will anybody know I hired an investigator?

No. Our work is covert, our vehicles are unmarked and we report only to you, using whatever contact method you tell us is safe.

How soon can you start in Manly?

For most matters we can be working within twenty four to forty eight hours, and faster where the situation is urgent.

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.

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.
