Who we are
Investigators, not a call centre
Operating from the Sydney CBD since 2002, licensed across three states, and answering our own phones.
Surveillance across Sydney and the whole of NSW
Sydney Private Investigations carries out surveillance throughout Sydney and the entire state of New South Wales. We are located in the CBD and can commence investigations immediately where a matter calls for it.
Call us to discuss your situation and we can develop a strategy to gather the evidence you need to uncover the truth. Whether you need to locate a person or carry out surveillance on a husband, wife or partner, we have the expertise to complete your investigation with the minimum of fuss.
We serve the legal profession and private customers, and our fees are more reasonable than most people think. No job is too small or too large. We cover Sydney and can also provide investigators in Queensland and Victoria, being licensed in all three states.

The person you will speak to
Shane J.
Investigator
Write down what you already know, with dates, before you call anyone. Half the people who ring me have more evidence than they realise and need less from me than they feared, and the other half save a fortune because we are not starting from nothing.
Shane handles surveillance and factual investigation work across Sydney and regional New South Wales, and is usually the person you speak to when you first call the office.
- NSW Master Licence
- 412080174
- VIC Master Licence
- Z6583160S
Ask any investigator you are considering for their licence number. Anyone who cannot produce one should not be handling your matter.
What being licensed since 2002 actually means
It means the investigator on your job has done it many hundreds of times before, that the evidence comes back in a form a court will accept, and that if a subject crosses a state border the investigation does not have to start again with a different firm.

How we work
A conversation first, an invoice last
Every job starts with a phone call. You describe the situation, we tell you honestly what an investigation can and cannot establish, and we scope the work accordingly. Nothing begins before you know the likely cost.
Plenty of those calls end with us saying you do not need to hire anyone. That is a perfectly good outcome, and it is why we do not charge for the conversation.
During a job you get progress contact rather than silence. At the end you get the footage, the photographs and a written investigator report setting out times, locations and observations, separating what was seen from what might be inferred.
Discretion is the whole job
Covert means covert. Our investigators work without the subject becoming aware that an investigation is underway, and we do not contact the subject of a background check. Every enquiry made to this office is treated as confidential, including the fact that you made it.
We hold NSW Master Licence 412080174. If you are speaking to any investigator, in Sydney or anywhere else, ask for their licence number. An unlicensed operator can compromise both your evidence and your matter.
If this is your first time using a private investigator
We will explain your options without jargon and without pressure. Call the office and speak to someone who will actually be working on it.
