Why Mercantile Agents Trust Us
Skip Tracing Australia supports mercantile agencies with fast, compliant, and court-ready tracing services. Whether you’re managing recoveries, enforcement, or high-volume debt matters, our team delivers reliable results that keep your clients informed and your matters progressing.
Why Outsource?
Many mercantile agents spend months chasing leads and outdated data to find uncontactable debtors.
Skip Tracing is our tradecraft — it’s what we do all day, every day. Our proven methods, tools, and processes deliver faster, more reliable results.
Establishing an in-house skip tracing operation can be costly, requiring investment in training, software, databases, and personnel. Outsourcing eliminates these overhead costs and converts fixed expenses into variable costs that only occur when services are needed.
Professional skip tracers can often locate individuals more quickly than in-house staff due to their expertise and resources. This efficiency allows the company to expedite debt recovery or asset repossession processes, improving cash flow and asset utilisation. At Skip Tracing Australia, we aim to have your matter completed within 10 Business Days and often have results much sooner than this.
Skip tracers in Australia must adhere to legal and regulatory guidelines in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and, quite often, the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009. Professional skip trace services are across these regulations and can ensure that their methods are compliant, reducing the company's risk of legal issues. Our Agents also complete mandatory CPE and Mercantile Compliance training.
By outsourcing your Skip Tracing to us, your Company can focus on its core business activities without diverting resources and attention to the complex and specialised task of locating individuals or assets.
Our Skip Tracing services can easily scale up or down based on your Business needs, providing flexibility that might be difficult to achieve with an in-house team. Whether your business requires skip tracing services on a small or large scale, outsourcing to professional services offers the advantage of adjusting the level of support as needed, saving you a lot of time and money in the process.
If we can’t find them, no one can! Our ability to provide quality Skip Tracing is second to none. We maintain a consistently high level of success through our solid processes and provide transparent communications along the way. We leverage our standardised processes and quality control measures to ensure reliable results.
Our Team of licensed Private Investigators have access to advanced tools and databases that may not be cost-effective or practical for many companies to acquire and maintain. These tools can provide more comprehensive searches and better results. than just plain name search databases alone.

We provide everything from Debt Collection services, to Process Serving and Vehicle Repossessions, in addition to our wide range of Investigation services. Our goal is to be your reliable partner in safeguarding your assets and helping your business succeed in the long run.
