Do you need a Private Investigator in Australia?

Yes. Private investigation in Australia is fully legal and strictly regulated. Investigators must hold valid licenses issued by the relevant state or territory authority such as the NSW Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED), the Victoria Police Licensing and Regulation Division, and the Queensland Office of Fair Trading. All investigations comply with Australian privacy, surveillance, and criminal laws, ensuring ethical and lawful service.
