SKIP TRACING SPECIALISTS

Skip tracing is the process of finding a person's current address or contact details using whatever last-known information you can provide — a name, an old address, a date of birth, a former workplace.

We access a wide range of licensed and privileged databases across Australia to build an accurate, up-to-date picture of where someone is now.

​

We can help you find:

  • Family members you've lost contact with

  • Old friends

  • Debtors

  • Beneficiaries named in a will or estate

  • Ex-partners 

  • Someone who needs to be served with legal documents

  • Missing persons

​​

Also available as part of a skip trace:

  • Historical and current property data

  • National court data

​

If you're concerned for someone's immediate safety, please contact Police on 000 (emergency) or 131 444 (Police Assistance Line). Skip tracing is for locating people you've lost contact with — not for urgent welfare checks.

FAMILY RESEARCH

Whether you're hoping to reconnect with someone or piece together where you came from, we offer two related services:

​

Reconnecting with Family 

If you've lost touch with a parent, sibling, child or other relative — through estrangement, adoption, or simply time and distance — we can help you locate them. Using the details you provide, we search licensed and privileged databases to trace current contact information, so you can decide whether and how to reach out.

​

Family History & Ancestry Research 

If you're trying to understand your family's story — verifying family history, tracing lineage, or filling gaps in your family tree — we combine historical records with investigative research techniques to trace ancestors and build an accurate picture of your family's past.

​

Every enquiry is handled with discretion and without judgement. We understand these searches are often personal and emotional, and we treat every case that way.​

IDENTITY & PROFILING SERVICES

This service is about building an accurate, comprehensive picture of a person — collating current and historical data from a wide range of licensed databases, alongside open source research including social media and image intelligence. We can also access court records and property data relevant to the individual.

​

Commonly used for:

  • Verifying a partner you're currently in a relationship with

  • Checking a business partner or associate you already work with

  • A new member of the family — for example, a future son- or daughter-in-law

  • A friend or acquaintance you have concerns about

  • Someone with regular access to your home or family, such as a carer or tradesperson

​

All research is conducted using licensed, lawful methods. Every case is handled with diligence, moral integrity, and complete confidentiality.

Specialist Investigations: Sexual & Physical Abuse Allegations

When allegations of sexual or physical abuse are at the centre of a case, the quality of the investigation can determine the outcome. Our team conducts detailed, thorough, and competent investigations built specifically for the sensitivities this work demands.

​

What We Do

  • Skip Tracing — Locating witnesses and persons of interest, often with minimal starting information.

  • Open-Source Investigations — Comprehensive OSINT research to build a clear, defensible picture of the facts.

  • Witness Statements — Securing cooperation and taking detailed, accurate statements from witnesses and complainants.

  • Detailed Reporting — Clear, thorough written reports prepared for your review and ready to support your case strategy.

​​

Our Team

Our licensed private investigators bring together former police detectives, experienced analysts, and a criminologist — a team with deep, specialised experience in sexual and physical abuse investigations. Every member has completed trauma-informed practice training, so we approach every potential witness with the emotional intelligence and sensitivity this work requires, while still securing the cooperation your case depends on.

​

Why Law Firms Work With Us

  • Access to privileged, licensed databases, giving us an exceptional track record in tracing witnesses others can't find

  • Trauma-informed methodology that respects the dignity of everyone we speak with, without compromising on thoroughness

  • Experience that matters — years spent specifically in abuse-related investigations, not generalist casework

  • Reports built for use — clear, well-organised findings that slot straight into your case preparation

​​

We understand the complexity and delicacy of this field, and we treat every investigation — and everyone involved in it — accordingly.
