Documentation: Your Best Defence

In workplace investigations, documentation isn’t just admin—it’s your shield. Good record-keeping ensures the process is transparent, defensible, and credible. Poor records, on the other hand, can undo even the most thorough investigation.

Strong documentation means:
✔️ Every step is recorded and timelines are clear
✔️ Evidence and witness accounts are preserved accurately
✔️ Decisions are backed by demonstrable facts, not memory

When documentation is lacking, the risks increase:
⚠️ Claims of bias or procedural unfairness
⚠️ Difficulty defending outcomes in court or Fair Work proceedings
⚠️ Damage to organisational trust and reputation

Independent investigators understand that a clear paper trail is not optional—it’s essential. At Regional Queensland Investigations, we ensure every matter is meticulously documented, giving employers confidence that their processes will withstand scrutiny.

Because in investigations, your best defence isn’t hindsight—it’s documentation.
