Why choose us?
This small sole agency is managed by the owner, who is a female Private Investigator.
This means that 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 – our objective is to submit a realistic, mutually agreeable cost structure up front to our clients so there will be no nasty surprises halfway through the enquiry.
The testimonials on the Reviews page from current and previous clients are 100% authentic.
We at Trace and Identify (Australia) are fully insured for Public Liability and Professional Indemnity
We listen, we are reliable and ethical and we always work within the law.
Our main aim is to make the client feel 100% comfortable when using our services.
Two extra reasons for choosing us:
In Australia, all reputable agencies are required to comply with relevant laws and regulations, including those related to privacy and data protection. Trace and Identify (Australia) do comply.
