Before Anything Else: How We Protect You From the Moment You Contact Us

Most people who call us have been staring at our number for days, afraid of one thing: being found out for looking. So here is exactly what happens, and doesn't happen, when you reach out:

  • 1We call from a private, unlisted number. Nothing on your phone traces back to us.
  • 2We never leave a voicemail or send a text. If you don't answer, we simply try again at a time you've told us is safe.
  • 3No emails, no letters, no marketing. Ever. You will never receive anything with our name on it that you didn't ask for.
  • 4Your call is answered by an investigator, not a call centre. What you say stays between you and us. Confidentiality isn't a policy here; it's the entire business.

You are in control of every contact. Tell us when it's safe to call, and that's the only time your phone will ring.

Thirty seconds, three fields. An investigator, not a salesperson, will call you back from a private number, only at the time you choose.

Please give us a name to use. Any name is fine.

Please check the phone number. It's the one thing we can't do without.

Private & confidential. We call from an unlisted number, never leave a message, and never send emails or texts. Your details are never shared with anyone, for any reason.

Done. An investigator will call you, quietly.

We'll ring from a private number at the time you chose, and if you can't answer, we won't leave a message. We'll simply try again at the next safe time. Nothing about the call will identify who we are until you're speaking with us, and you'll receive no emails, texts or letters.

If it becomes safe to talk sooner, you can always call us first: 1300 776 873, any hour.

You're not imagining it

If You're Reading This at 2am, You're Not Alone

The phone that's suddenly always face-down. The passwords that changed. The overtime that doesn't add up, the gym sessions that don't explain the missing hours, the feeling in your gut that arrived long before any evidence did.

You've probably told yourself you're imagining it. You've probably also checked their location once and hated yourself for it. That loop (suspect, doubt yourself, suspect again) is more exhausting than any truth could be. People tell us the worst part was never what we found. It was the months of not knowing.

You don't have to keep carrying this on your own, and you don't have to become a detective in your own home. That's our job. And unlike you, we're allowed to do it, trained to do it, and we've done it for 20 years.

Talk it through with someone who's heard it all before: 1300 776 873, any hour.

No mystery, no pressure

What Happens When You Call, Step by Step

No pressure, no commitment, no judgement. Here's the whole process, so nothing about it is a mystery:

An investigator listening to a client across a desk
  1. A free, confidential conversation.

    Call 1300 776 873 or request a callback. You'll speak with a senior investigator, a former police detective rather than a receptionist. Tell them as much or as little as you're comfortable with. This call costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

  2. An honest assessment.

    We'll tell you plainly whether an investigation would actually help. If it wouldn't, we'll say so. If it would, we design a discreet, fixed-scope plan around your situation: the who, where and when. You approve everything, including the cost, before anything begins.

  3. A discreet, legal investigation.

    Licensed investigators, ex-police and ex-military, conduct surveillance quietly and entirely within the law. Your partner will not know. You'll be kept informed in the way you've told us is safe.

  4. The truth, documented.

    You receive a clear, factual report with time-stamped photographic and video evidence, gathered legally so it's admissible in court if you ever need it. Whatever we find, including nothing at all, you'll finally know. And then the decisions are yours, made on facts instead of fear.

Local knowledge

Sydney Is Our Home Ground

Our head office and largest investigation team are here in Sydney. We know this city the way only surveillance professionals can: the back streets of the Inner West, the car parks of the CBD, the school pickups of the Hills District, the weekend routes down to the Royal National Park. Local knowledge is the difference between surveillance that works and surveillance that gets noticed.

We operate across all of Greater Sydney and surrounds: the CBD and Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore and Northern Beaches, the Hills District, Parramatta and Greater Western Sydney, the Sutherland Shire, and out to Penrith, Campbelltown, the Central Coast and Wollongong.

Licensed to operate throughout New South Wales.

In their words

From People Who Were Exactly Where You Are

"I sat on their number for three weeks before I called. The man who answered didn't rush me and didn't judge me. He just listened, then explained exactly what they could and couldn't do. Whatever happened next, I knew I'd finally done something."Sarah · Castle Hill
"The discretion was everything to me. They only ever rang at the times I'd said were safe, never left messages, and my wife never had any idea an investigation was happening. I got a clear report and clear answers. It wasn't the outcome I'd hoped for, but I'd rather live with the truth."Michael · Cronulla
"It turned out I was wrong. Honestly, that was worth every cent. They told me straight instead of stringing me along, and I finally slept properly for the first time in months. I can't recommend them enough for their honesty alone."Priya · Parramatta

Straight answers

The Four Worries That Stop People Calling, Answered Honestly

01"What will it cost me?"

The first conversation costs nothing. For some people, that free call is all they need. If an investigation would genuinely help, we'll design a fixed scope and tell you the full cost up front, before anything starts. Nothing is ever run up without your approval. Most matters are resolved with a small number of carefully planned surveillance sessions, not open-ended billing. Good local intelligence means we're in the right place at the right time, not burning your money driving around. And weigh it against what the not-knowing is already costing you: your sleep, your concentration, and every decision you can't make until you know.

02"Will my partner find out I contacted you?"

Not from us. We call from a private number, we never leave voicemails or send texts or emails, and we only ring at times you've told us are safe. Our surveillance is conducted by professionals who've done this for two decades; being unnoticed is the core skill of the job. In 20 years, discretion is the thing we have never compromised on, because without it we'd have no business at all.

03"Is this even legal?"

Yes, and that matters more than you might realise. We're licensed under NSW Master Licence 412080174 (check it yourself), and everything we do sits inside the law: lawful surveillance in public places, licensed investigators, court-admissible methods. We will never hack a phone, read private emails or plant tracking devices unlawfully, not only because it's illegal, but because illegally obtained evidence is worthless to you and dangerous for you. The legal way is the only way the truth actually holds up.

04"I feel ashamed to even be looking at this page."

You shouldn't. But we understand why you do. Here's what 20 years has taught us: the people who call us aren't jealous or crazy. They're usually calm, intelligent people who've noticed real changes and simply want to stop being lied to, in either direction. Wanting the truth about your own life isn't shameful. It might be the most reasonable thing you do all year. And whoever answers your call has heard a thousand stories like yours; you will not be judged, whatever you tell us and whatever we find.

Still wondering

Questions People Ask Us at 2am

Is hiring a private investigator to follow my partner legal in NSW?

Yes. Licensed private investigators can lawfully observe and document a person's movements and conduct in public. We hold NSW Master Licence 412080174 (verify it on the NSW Government register) and every investigator working your matter is individually licensed. What's not legal, for us or for you, is hacking phones or emails, recording private conversations you're not part of, or unlawfully planting tracking devices. We don't do those things, and you shouldn't either; it's the fastest way to turn a wronged partner into a defendant.

Could the evidence be used in court for a divorce or custody matter?

Yes. Because our evidence is gathered lawfully by licensed investigators, it's admissible in Australian courts. You'll receive a factual, time-stamped report with photographs and video, prepared to a standard our investigators, many of them former police, have been held to their whole careers. Most clients never end up in court, but the evidence is built so it would stand up if you did.

What if you investigate and find nothing?

Then you'll know that too. Honestly, it's one of the best outcomes we deliver. We report what we find, not what anyone hoped or feared we'd find. Plenty of our clients get their peace of mind this way and tell us it was worth every cent to stop wondering. We will never invent suspicion to keep an investigation running.

How quickly can something start?

The conversation can start right now: the line is answered 24 hours a day, every day. If we agree an investigation will help, surveillance can often begin within days, and sooner where timing matters (a suspicious "work trip" this weekend, for instance). Tell us your timeframe on the call.

What does it cost?

The call and consultation are free, always. Investigation costs depend entirely on your situation, which is why we won't insult you with a made-up number here. What we promise: a fixed, written scope approved by you before anything begins, no open-ended billing, and an honest answer if we think an investigation isn't worth your money.

I can't safely take calls. How do we communicate?

You tell us the rules and we follow them exactly. Most clients nominate safe windows (a lunch break, the school run, after their partner leaves for work) and that's the only time we'll ever ring. We call from a private number, never leave messages, and never send anything in writing unless you specifically ask for it. Some clients also use a trusted friend's number or a second phone; we'll work with whatever keeps you safe and comfortable.
