Evidence gathered through our investigations has contributed to Supreme Court proceedings and can be provided to police if it supports their enquiries. Often, our evidence is just for a client's peace of mind, and does not need to be used in court. Lyonswood's broad expertise across a range of investigative service areas helps us determine the right approach based on what you need to establish, while our dedicated team handles each matter with discretion and consideration for your personal circumstances.

    Circumstances We Can Help Investigate

    Personal investigations arise in different circumstances. We start by understanding your situation and the information or evidence that could help you decide what to do next.

    Stalking and harassment investigations for individuals

    Safety Concerns

    If you are experiencing unwanted or repeated contact that is making you concerned, Lyonswood can investigate the situation and endeavour to gather relevant evidence. Our stalking and harassment investigations can help document offending behaviour and identify the person responsible when there is evidence available.

    For harassment taking place digitally, our online harassment investigations team can examine available digital evidence and help trace activity. Information gathered may also assist a subsequent police investigation.

    Fraud or Threats

    Fraud, identity theft and anonymous threats may be conducted by a person whose identity is hidden, leaving you with limited information about who is responsible or how they accessed your details. Lyonswood can use digital forensics and other techniques to examine relevant digital evidence and look for information that may help establish precisely what occurred.

    Our identity theft and fraud investigations team can investigate suspicious activity to help identify those involved and gather evidence for your next steps towards restitution.

    Peace of Mind

    You need facts before deciding whether there is anything further to address. If you have concerns about a partner, an infidelity investigation can help establish what is happening without relying on assumptions.

    Lyonswood can also conduct background checks when you have legitimate concerns about someone in your life. If your concern relates to privacy, a bug sweep can determine whether surveillance equipment is present.

    FAQs

    Is hiring a private investigator legal in Australia?

    Yes. You can legally hire a private investigator in Australia. Lyonswood conducts investigations within the law and uses lawful investigative methods when gathering information and evidence.

    Evidence gathered during an investigation may be provided to police or used in legal proceedings. The admissibility of evidence is ultimately determined by the applicable rules of evidence and the court.

    When do I use a private investigator over the police?

    Police primarily investigate criminal matters and allocate resources based on availability, which might mean your matter is deemed unimportant. A private investigator can be engaged when you need dedicated investigative work for a personal or civil matter, or when your concerns about a criminal matter are not a priority for police.

    If the matter involves immediate danger or a crime requiring urgent police attention, you should contact the police. A private investigator can assist separately when there is a need for further investigation or evidence gathering.

    How much does hiring a private investigator cost?

    The cost depends on what you need investigated and the work required to establish the facts. Once we understand your circumstances, we can explain the recommended approach and provide a written proposal outlining the costs.

    How do you ensure my privacy is protected during the investigation?

    Lyonswood takes confidentiality seriously in every investigation. We understand that private clients usually come to us with information they may not have shared with anyone else. Your personal details and the circumstances of your case are handled with discretion throughout the investigation, and we are happy to put our confidentiality commitment in writing.
