Something’s off, and you can’t quite shake it. Maybe your partner’s been “working late” a lot more than they used to, or their phone’s face down on the bench now when it never was before. You’ve probably told yourself you’re overthinking it. Sometimes that’s true. Sometimes it’s not, and the only way to know for sure is to actually find out, instead of running the same questions through your head every night.
That’s where we come in. SpouseBusters has been working as a private investigator Hobart locals trust for a long time now, and infidelity cases make up most of what we do. We’re not here to judge your situation or tell you what to do with the information. We get you the facts, clearly and quietly, so you can make your own call from there.
People come to us with all sorts of nerves about this. Will it be obvious? Will it cost a fortune? Is this even something normal people do? Fair questions, so here’s the honest rundown.
First up, it’s quiet. Genuinely quiet. We don’t show up in a marked car, we don’t call your house phone, and nobody else needs to know you’ve spoken to us. Most of our clients haven’t told a single friend or family member they’re working with a private investigator, and that’s exactly how it should stay if that’s what you want.
Second, we don’t drag things out for the sake of it. Once you call us, we’ll have a proper chat about what’s been going on and figure out together whether surveillance even makes sense, or whether there’s a simpler way to get your answer. Sometimes a single evening of watching tells the whole story. Other times it takes a few weeks of dipping in and out before a pattern shows up. We won’t pad out a job just to bump up the bill.
Third, and this one matters a lot, our investigators know how to actually disappear into the background. No trench coats, no binoculars sticking out a car window. Think a person sitting in a cafe with a coffee, or a parked car that nobody looks at twice. That’s the real job. Blending in, not standing out.
Most calls we get are about suspected affairs, but it’s not all we do. Our Hobart team also handles background checks (handy if someone new has come into your life or you’re about to go into business with somebody), skip tracing for people who’ve gone quiet and stopped answering calls, child custody matters where there are genuine welfare concerns, and the occasional missing persons case where a family just wants to know their loved one is okay.
If you think you’re being watched or tracked yourself, we can run a check for that too. It happens more than people realise.
People often dance around asking about price, so we’ll just put it out there. No mystery fee shows up at the end. Before anything starts, we walk you through exactly what the job will involve and roughly what it’ll cost, so you’re not signing up for a blank cheque. You only pay for what we actually agree on.
Here’s the thing about doubt. It doesn’t go away on its own. It just sits there, quietly, while you replay conversations and second-guess things that probably don’t deserve a second guess. Confronting someone with nothing but a gut feeling rarely goes well either, especially if it turns out you were wrong.
You don’t have to keep guessing. A proper private investigator Hobart team can get you a real answer, one way or the other, without you having to play detective yourself or risk tipping anyone off. And if it turns out your worries were nothing, that’s a good outcome too. Either way, you’ll actually know.
People can say many things.
Their actions usually tell the real story.
Surveillance is one of the best investigative methods that can be used in establishing facts. Surveillance can give us an opportunity to see how the situation unfolds without getting involved in it.
We were once approached by a businessperson who had concerns regarding some suspicious activity carried out by one of his employees. The reasons seemed plausible, but then there was something which did not add up. Through proper surveillance and investigation, our client understood the real picture of the situation.
Sometimes you just need the right gear to look after yourself, your family or your business, and that’s where our spy products come in handy. We stock a carefully chosen range of legal surveillance equipment, GPS trackers, hidden cameras, audio recorders, all suited to genuine, lawful use only. Everything we sell is fully legal under Australian law, and we won’t stock anything built for illegal spying or eavesdropping, full stop. Our team can walk you through what actually suits your situation, whether that’s keeping an eye on a vehicle, monitoring a property or just wanting some peace of mind. Buying from experienced, licensed investigators means you get honest advice alongside quality gear, plus straight guidance on using it responsibly, safely and legally wherever you are.
The process begins with a confidential consultation. We take the time to understand your circumstances, discuss your concerns and determine how we may be able to help.
Once we understand your objectives, we develop an investigative approach tailored to your situation. Every case is unique, and our strategies reflect this.
Our investigators conduct the necessary enquiries while maintaining discretion at all times. Once completed, we provide you with the findings gathered throughout the investigation.
If you’re ready to talk it through, call SpouseBusters on 1300 776 873. The first conversation is confidential and costs you nothing but a few minutes. We’re around 24/7, because this kind of thing rarely waits for business hours.
Greater Hobart, including Sandy Bay, Glenorchy, Moonah, Kingston and the Eastern Shore around Bellerive, Rosny and Lindisfarne. We also travel to Sorell, New Norfolk and the Huon Valley. Travel time and km are part of our day rate, so outer areas should not cost more in most cases.
It is a real worry in a city where everyone seems to know everyone. Our investigators keep their distance, use cars that blend in and never approach the person being watched. They are also not part of your social circle, which helps keep the job quiet.
Yes. Work in Tasmania is carried out by investigators licensed in that state. Spouse Busters has been running since 2005, and we handle cheating partner cases, surveillance, background checks and locating people around Hobart and the rest of southern Tasmania.
Yes. With only a few ways across the Derwent, following someone between the city and the Eastern Shore takes some planning. Our investigators know the bridge and the main routes, and on busier days a second investigator can help so the car is not lost in traffic.
Call 1300 776 873 or send us a private message. In most cases we can start within hours of your call. To book surveillance we take a deposit of $1,100 + GST ($1,210) for each day you book. It covers the first 4 hours of surveillance, plus travel time, admin time, kilometres travelled and average expenses. This is the minimum charge. Any extra hour is $120 + GST. The final balance is paid at the end of the job.

As Heard on
Most Australians don’t think they’ll ever need a private investigator—until the day they do. But when that day comes, and that person is YOU, there’s only one question you need to ask yourself: which PI agency has the licensing, experience and track record to get you real answers?
