π Investigative Insights: How to Hire a Licensed Private Investigator in Qld (7 Sept 2025)
When sensitive issues arise β workplace misconduct, fraud, guardianship concerns, or personal matters β hiring an investigator is a serious decision. But how do you know theyβre legitimate in Queensland?
Here are key steps to ensure youβre dealing with a licensed professional:
β
Check their Security Firm Licence
All investigators in Queensland must hold a valid licence under the Security Providers Act 1993 (Qld). Ask for the licence number and verify it with the Office of Fair Trading.
β
Confirm Insurance Coverage
A legitimate investigator will carry professional indemnity and public liability insurance β protecting both the client and the firm.
β
Ask About Experience & Specialisation
Investigations range from workplace matters to guardianship and fraud. Ensure the investigator has proven expertise in the type of case you need.
β
Request Written Agreements
Legitimate firms provide clear engagement terms, outlining scope, confidentiality, and costs upfront.
β
Check Professionalism & Transparency
Licensed investigators operate ethically, provide references when appropriate, and communicate openly.
