Private investigation costs vary by service type, location, and case complexity. To give you a clear guide: our surveillance investigations start from $800+GST for a four-hour deployment, charged at $120+GST per hour thereafter. Social media investigations start from $450+GST. TSCM bug sweeps start from $800+GST for vehicles and $1,000+GST for residential properties.

The most important thing to know: you will receive a clear, upfront quote before any work commences. There are no hidden fees, no surprise invoices, and no obligation to proceed after your free consultation.

Yes, when conducted by a licensed private investigator operating within Australian privacy legislation. Our investigators conduct surveillance only in public places or where otherwise permitted by law. All methods are lawful, and all evidence gathered is suitable for use in legal proceedings. Stirling Investigations holds an active licence in New South Wales.

It depends on the service. Evidence gathered for child custody investigations and workers compensation fraud matters is court-admissible and professionally formatted to meet family law and tribunal standards. Evidence gathered for infidelity investigations is for personal decision-making. Infidelity is not a legal ground for divorce in Australia, and infidelity evidence cannot be relied upon in family court property or financial proceedings.

We will always be transparent about admissibility before you proceed.

No. All investigations are conducted by plain-clothes operatives using unmarked vehicles and professional-grade equipment. We will never make contact with, alert, or notify the subject of your investigation.

If operational security is a particular concern, for example in an active custody dispute or a sensitive corporate matter, raise this in your initial consultation and we will tailor our approach accordingly.

Timeframes vary by service and situation. A surveillance deployment may resolve in a single four-hour session or require multiple days, depending on your subject's routine and your specific objective. Social media investigations are typically delivered within five business days. Address searches and phone number searches are usually returned within three to five business days.

We will provide a realistic timeframe estimate during your initial consultation, with no promises we can't keep.
