In Australia
Outside investigators for employers anywhere in the country
An external investigator removes doubt about fairness, which matters in small teams where everyone knows each other. We handle privacy carefully at every step.
Interviews are held by video, or in person by arrangement, and we explain each stage to everyone involved. The report sets out facts, findings and options, and leaves decisions with you.
- Impartial and documented
- Confidential handling
- Clear written findings
Common situations
What Australian clients usually ask us to solve
Bullying and harassment complaints
These complaints need a careful, confidential process. We interview fairly, record accurately and report findings without taking sides.
Misconduct and policy breaches
Where conduct may justify action, a proper investigation protects the employer from claims of unfairness and gives management a sound basis for decisions.
Small businesses without HR
Owners often know the people involved, which makes impartiality hard. An independent investigator brings objectivity and a documented process.

Several allegations need careful structuring so each one is examined fairly on its own.
Large volumes of documents and messages take time to review and organise.
Interviews across states are held by video, which needs planning around different time zones.
