About Trace and Identify (Australia)

Private Investigator Services

Lesley, a Senior female Investigator who has had eighteen years experience locating missing persons for individuals and companies within Australia as well as internationally, conducting background checks, attending surveillance and door knocks for ID purposes, is the Sole Owner Manager of Trace and Identity (Australia).

Previously, Lesley was Owner Manager of a virtual secretarial business based in the Redland Shire (now Redland City) named LegWork, for local, national and international clients and before that, taught Business Methodology full time at a University in Hubei Province, midland China for a period of twelve months.

During Lesley’s eighteen years as a Private Investigator, she has personally successfully located 700+ people, conducted more than one hundred door knocks in Sth East QLD, as well as attending to many basic to in-depth background checks.

During this time, enquiries from clients not only within Australia, but from the U.K., the U.S., U.A.E. and N.Z., have been completed with a satisfactory outcome for each client. The secret of Lesley’s success is quite simple…

understanding the client’s objective, using discretion at all times, working within the law, dedication, tenacity, emailing the client an update half way through the enquiry and most importantly, accepting quality of work over quantity of work, so as not to be too overwhelmed with incoming enquiries.

Law firms, Finance companies – We endeavour to reach a turnaround time of five to ten business days.

Private Clients – once receiving an enquiry, a ‘cost effective’ plan is worked out for you as well as the assurance that a discreet and confidential approach is used throughout your enquiry.

With access to exclusive databases that are updated monthly and not generally accessible to the public, associated with proven expertise in research and telephone skills, a satisfactory result is very often achieved for clients whether they be a business, or a private individual.
