What is a Private Investigation?
A private investigation is a professional, legally regulated service that collects evidence, conducts surveillance and uncovers facts for individuals, law firms and businesses. In Australia, private investigators operate within strict state licensing frameworks. Clients turn to private investigators for a variety of reasons—from finding missing persons and investigating potential infidelity to conducting corporate due diligence and exposing fraud.
At The Find Group, our investigators are led by a former Police Detective and are licensed and insured. We adhere to every state’s regulatory requirement, so every investigation is lawful and ethical, and our evidence is gathered and documented to the standard courts and tribunals expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to engage an investigator?
Will the information I provide be kept confidential?
All communications are initially briefed to one person, and in most circumstances, this will be a Director or Senior Manager. This information can be provided in person or discreetly via email, or other appropriate arrangements can be discussed. Investigators are briefed on only the necessary information required. Communications and all information obtained are limited to only those working on the file, and all information is stored securely.
Do you provide these services around Australia and overseas?
We routinely cover all capital cities and major regional areas. For remote areas, we would be required to assess the viability of sending one of our team to the area and the costs associated with this. For overseas investigations, we have the choice of engaging one of our associate partners or sending an Australian Investigator to that location. Several of our agents have experience in the Middle East and through parts of Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and India.
How do I know if I need a private investigator in Australia?
How do I check that a private investigator is properly licensed?
Ask the investigator for their licence details and confirm them with the regulator in the state or territory that issued the licence, as most Australian jurisdictions license private investigators. A reputable agency will provide these details without hesitation, confirm its insurance and explain how it will protect your information. The Find Group’s investigators are licensed and insured, and we can provide the details during your confidential consultation.
What private investigation services does The Find Group offer?
We provide background checks and due diligence, surveillance investigations, infidelity and relationship investigations, insurance and workplace investigations, skip tracing and missing persons searches, and corporate and fraud investigations. We act for law firms, insurers, finance providers, businesses and private clients across Australia.
What information do I need to start an investigation?
Share what you already know: the people or businesses involved, relevant dates and locations, any documents you hold and what you need the investigation to achieve. You do not need everything before contacting us. We will review what you have, tell you whether there is enough to begin and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
How do private investigators conduct surveillance?
Our investigators conduct surveillance by observing and recording a person’s activities in public places, supported by the lawful use of cameras and recording equipment. Tracking and listening devices are strictly regulated under state surveillance devices laws, so we plan every surveillance operation to comply with those laws and with privacy legislation. You receive a written report of our observations, with footage where it is obtained.
