We know what it's like to look for someone, whether it's a missing relative, a debtor, or a crucial witness. Sometimes, trying to find them can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. At Lyonswood Investigations and Forensic Group, we specialise in skip tracing – the act of locating individuals who may be difficult to find. With over 40 years of experience, our licensed private investigators employ a combination of proven strategies and advanced databases to track down individuals across Australia and internationally.

If you're trying to find someone, you could attempt to do it on your own using basic online searches and some surface-level information. However, these attempts can often fall short and lead to dead ends, especially if someone is actively avoiding being found.
Our licensed private investigators have legal access to multiple databases and the expertise to interpret and connect disparate pieces of information. With these resources and experience, we're able to locate individuals efficiently while ensuring all cases are carried out in accordance with the law.
Understanding how professional skip tracing works and what information is needed to successfully locate an individual.
The skip tracing process begins with gathering all available information about the subject. This includes full name, date of birth, last known address, known associates, employment history, and any other relevant details.
The more information you can provide initially, the more efficient and successful the search will be. Even seemingly small details can prove crucial in locating someone.
Our investigators utilise multiple proprietary databases that are not accessible to the general public. These include electoral rolls, property records, utility connections, and various commercial databases.
Cross-referencing information across multiple sources allows us to verify leads and build a comprehensive picture of the subject's current whereabouts.
When database searches need to be supplemented, our investigators conduct field work including door knocks, neighbourhood enquiries, and surveillance where appropriate.
Our experienced team knows how to conduct these enquiries discreetly while maintaining the integrity of the investigation and complying with all legal requirements.
Once we locate an individual, we verify their identity and current address before providing you with a comprehensive report. This verification step is crucial to ensure accuracy.
Our reports include all relevant information gathered during the investigation and can be used for legal proceedings if required.
Common questions about our skip tracing services and what you can expect from a professional investigation.
