Not knowing is the hardest part

Most people who call us have felt something is wrong for weeks or months. They have asked their partner, and the answer didn’t add up. They check the phone, the bank statements, the car. They lie awake going over it. Some feel silly for even thinking it.

You don’t need to keep guessing. One day of surveillance often answers the question that has been eating at you for months. If your partner is doing nothing wrong, you can put it to rest. If they are, you’ll know for sure, and you can decide what comes next with the facts in front of you.

Common signs a partner may be cheating

No single sign proves an affair. But when a few of these show up together, it is worth finding out:

  • The phone is always face down, locked with a new code, or taken into the bathroom
  • New “late meetings”, work trips or gym sessions that weren’t there before
  • Gaps in their day they can’t explain, or stories that change
  • A sudden interest in looks, new clothes or a new fragrance
  • Less affection, or picking fights out of nowhere
  • Money you can’t account for, or a second card or account
  • They get defensive or angry when you ask simple questions

How a cheating spouse investigation works

  1. A private chat. Call or message us. Tell us what has been happening. It is confidential and there is no pressure.
  2. We pick the right day and time. We ask about your partner’s routine and when you think something is happening. Picking the right window is the most important part of the job.
  3. Book the job. You pay the first 4-hour block to lock in the investigator. We only ask for what we need, such as a recent photo, the car and the starting address.
  4. Discreet surveillance. A licensed investigator follows and watches from a distance, in an unmarked car. They note every movement and record video and photos of what happens.
  5. Your report. Once the balance is paid, you get a written report with dates, times, places, photos and video. You can ask for updates during the job.

What you get

  • A written, time-stamped report of where your partner went and who they met
  • Photos and video of what was seen
  • A report laid out clearly, so you or your lawyer can read it easily
  • Updates during the job, if you want them
  • A team you can call back if you need more days

How much does a cheating spouse investigator cost?

Our prices are simple and shown up front:

  • Surveillance: $120 + GST per hour.
  • Each job starts with a 4-hour block at $1,100 + GST. That already covers travel time, km, admin and average expenses, so there are no surprise extras.
  • Extra hours: $120 + GST each. If your partner is on the move and more time is needed, the investigator can keep going.

Most cases are answered in one or two days of surveillance when the timing is right. We’ll help you plan the job so you don’t pay for hours you don’t need.

Situations we help with

These are general examples of the kinds of jobs we do, not real client stories:

  • The late meetings. A partner starts working back three nights a week. The investigator follows from the office on one of those nights to see where they really go.
  • The weekend trip. A “work conference” or “boys’ weekend” away. We watch the arrival and who they spend time with.
  • The ex who never left. A partner still sees a former partner and says it’s nothing. We find out how much contact there really is.
  • Before the big decision. Someone thinking about separating, moving out or selling the house wants the facts first.

Cheating spouse investigations: common questions

How much does it cost to hire a private investigator to catch a cheating partner?

Surveillance is $120 + GST per hour. Each job starts with a 4-hour block at $1,100 + GST, which includes travel time, km, admin and average expenses. Extra hours are $120 + GST each.

Is it legal to hire a private investigator to follow my partner?

Yes. Hiring a licensed private investigator is legal in Australia. Our investigators watch and record from public places, within the law.

Will my partner find out?

Our investigators are trained to stay out of sight, use unmarked cars and keep a safe distance. If an investigator thinks they may have been noticed, they pull back rather than risk the job. We never contact your partner, and your enquiry stays private.

How long does an investigation take?

Many cases are answered in one or two days of surveillance, if we pick the right time. Some take longer if your partner’s routine is hard to predict. We’ll talk you through the best plan before you book.

What do I get at the end?

A written report with dates, times and places, plus photos and video of what the investigator saw. It is sent once the balance is paid.

What if nothing happens on the day?

You still get a full report of where your partner went and what they did. For some people that is the peace of mind they needed. If your gut still tells you something is wrong, we can help you plan another day at a better time.

Can I get updates while the job is running?

Yes. Just ask, and the team can keep you updated during the job.

Can the evidence be used in court?

Our reports are detailed, dated and timed, with photos and video, so your lawyer can use them if needed. Australia has no-fault divorce, so proof of an affair doesn’t change how property is split. Most clients want the truth so they can make their own decisions. Evidence can still matter in some family matters, for example who is living in the home with your children. Your lawyer can advise on your case.

What do you need from me?

Usually a recent photo of your partner, their car and number plate, the address they’ll leave from, and the day and time you’re worried about. We only ask for what the job needs.

Do you work outside Sydney?

Yes. We take cheating spouse cases right across Australia. Call or message us with the area and we’ll talk you through it.

Are you licensed?

Yes. We hold NSW Master Licence 412080174 and have been running since 2005.

Is my enquiry confidential?

Yes. Everything you tell us stays private. We never contact your partner, and we never share your details.

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?
