Trace and Identify (Australia) is a small, affordable, two person detective agency established in Brisbane, Queensland in October 2008.

We locate ‘Anyone, Anywhere, for Any Reason’ including beneficiaries and witnesses for law firms, family members, dear friends, loved ones, ex spouses, as well as debtors for finance companies, Mercantile Agents and private clients.  

We also attend to discreet Surveillance and ‘Peace of Mind‘ follows of a suspected cheating spouse/partner, or of a family member you may be concerned about. 

Serving of documents (including divorce papers) – Australia wide, as well as internationally.

Why choose us?

We are Queensland owned.

The female investigator owns and manages the business.

When clients contact us, the Owner Manager (female investigator) will personally attend to your enquiry, however, a male investigator is available if requested. 

Unlike larger agencies that may need to pay rent and wages to others, we do not have high overheads that are absorbed into fees and passed on to the client.

We are not expensive, nor are we cheap – we simply submit a realistic, mutually agreeable cost structure up front to our clients so there will be no nasty surprises halfway through the enquiry.

We listen to your needs, we then act in a reliable and ethical manner, whilst working within the law.

The testimonials on the Reviews page from current and previous clients are 100% authentic.

We have full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance set in place
