Private Investigators in Western Australia

Sydney Private Investigations covers Western Australia, a state of about two point eight million people built on resources, energy, agriculture, marine services and construction. We have been investigating since 2002 and we work from the Perth metropolitan area south to the Great Southern and north through the Mid West and the Pilbara. Call 1300 773 293 at any hour and speak to an investigator rather than a receptionist.

Covering distance in Western Australia

Covering Western Australia means working from the Perth metropolitan area south to the Great Southern and north through the Mid West and the Pilbara. Distance is the main constraint, so we plan around it: we confirm the ground before an operative is committed, and we tell you when travel time is going to make a job uneconomic rather than billing you for a day in a car.

Investigation law in Western Australia

Two bodies of law matter most. The first is the Surveillance Devices Act 1998 (WA), which controls listening devices, optical surveillance devices, tracking devices and data surveillance. It is the reason a competent investigator will refuse to put a tracker on a car you do not own or record a conversation they are not part of.

The second is licensing. Investigators working in Western Australia are regulated under the Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996 (WA), administered by Western Australia Police. Where a locally licensed operative is required for work in Western Australia, we engage one. We will never pretend a licence exists that does not.

Matters that end up in court in Western Australia are generally heard in the Magistrates Court of Western Australia, the District Court and the Supreme Court. Family law matters are heard federally in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. Evidence has to be gathered with that destination in mind from the first day, not tidied up afterwards.

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 Western Australia is conducted in accordance with the Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996 (WA), administered by Western Australia Police, 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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you actually cover all of Western Australia?

Yes, and we are honest about how. We travel, and where a matter needs a locally licensed operative we engage one. Travel is quoted separately so you can see what you are paying for.

Is surveillance legal in Western Australia?

Observing somebody in a public place is generally lawful. Using devices is what the Surveillance Devices Act 1998 (WA) restricts, and we work strictly inside it.

Can you help with a family law matter?

Often, yes. Australian family law is no fault, so an affair by itself does not shift a property settlement, but evidence about parenting, residence and finances can matter a great deal.

How do I start?

Call 1300 773 293 and describe the situation. The first conversation is free and we will tell you honestly whether an investigation is the right step.

Are you licensed?

We hold NSW Master Licence 412080174 and VIC Master Licence Z6583160S, and we trade as GORA Investigations Pty Ltd, ABN 34 600 932 438.
