How we can help:
When You Might Need a Private Investigator to Undertake an Online Investigation
Whether you’re a legal professional, HR team, fraud investigator, business owner, or private client — there are times when you need answers to specific questions, not just general checks. Our licensed private investigators use OSINT, digital tracing, and deep web search techniques to uncover lawful, evidence-based insights. Whether you’re verifying a relationship, mapping movements, or exploring someone’s online behaviour, online investigations are designed to provide clarity.
Verify a Relationship or Connection
Determine the nature of a relationship between individuals, such as associates, partners, or family links.
Timeline or Movement Verification
Investigate whether a person has travelled interstate or internationally during a specific timeframe.
Social Media Behaviour
Review public social activity, interests, affiliations, and behavioural indicators relevant to your matter.
Online Fraud or Risk Investigation

Who We Work With
Skip Tracing Australia provides licensed, compliant support to professionals who need to locate individuals for legal, regulatory, or commercial purposes. Trusted by over 500 law firms, government agencies and businesses across Australia and internationally, we deliver fast, lawful, and fully documented investigation results.
Why Outsource?
Outsourcing your investigations to a licensed investigation firm ensures legal compliance, protects client confidentiality, and delivers reliable evidence for legal proceedings. Skip Tracing Australia works with law firms, government agencies, commercial clients and corporate legal teams requiring accurate location investigations to support litigation, service of process, debt recovery, and compliance matters.
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 alot 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.
When you partner with us, your Business will benefit from a range of additional services designed to support the maintenance and recovery of your assets. 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.
