Common Questions

Yes. All information you provide — your identity, the nature of your matter and any details about the subject — is held in strict confidence. We do not disclose client information to any third party except as required by law. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for full details.
All investigations are conducted strictly within Australian law and applicable Queensland legislation, including the Private Security Act 2004 (Qld), Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Surveillance Devices Act 2004 (Cth). We will not conduct any investigation that requires unlawful conduct, and we may decline or terminate any matter at our absolute discretion.
Yes. Our reports and evidence are produced in formats designed for use in legal proceedings. We maintain chain of custody, document collection methods thoroughly and can provide investigators' statements where required. Our documentation standards are consistent with Queensland court and tribunal requirements.
Digital intelligence packages are typically delivered within 3–10 business days depending on complexity. Surveillance reports are delivered within 2 business days of the operation completing. Your assigned investigator will provide a realistic timeline at the time of engagement. Urgent matters can be prioritised — see our Urgent Response Retainer package.
A retainer is an upfront payment that secures your investigation and allows work to commence. For fixed-price packages, the retainer is the total package cost. A minimum 20% deposit is required to confirm your booking, with the balance due prior to delivery of your report. Retainer requirements for bespoke matters will be advised at the time of assessment.
We are Queensland-based and conduct field operations throughout Queensland including Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Toowoomba, Cairns and surrounding areas. Digital intelligence and OSINT investigations can be conducted remotely regardless of location. Interstate travel is available and quoted separately.
No. Discretion is fundamental to every investigation we conduct. Our field operatives are trained in covert techniques and experienced in professional surveillance. Digital investigations are conducted passively using lawful open-source methods only. Your identity as a client is never disclosed under any circumstances.
Yes. Use our confidential enquiry form to describe your situation in your own words. A senior investigator will review your matter and recommend the most appropriate approach and pricing structure. Not every investigation fits a standard package, and bespoke engagements are common.
We will always report honestly on what the investigation did and did not find. Negative findings — confirmed absence of the suspected activity — are still valuable intelligence. We do not fabricate evidence or overstate results under any circumstances. If an investigation concludes without confirming the suspected activity, the report will say so accurately.
