Confidentiality Guaranteed
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?
Because when you need answers, not excuses, you’ll need to hire a private investigation firm that has DECADES of experience behind them, not just a few years. A company that is ETHICAL and RELIABLE, and that only employs experienced, LICENCED, private investigators.
You’ll need SPOUSEBUSTERS—Australia’s leading private investigation firm for over 20 years.

From corporate espionage to a loved one hiding an alcohol or gambling addition, Spousebusters has the Australia-wide manpower and industry knowhow to find the evidence you need to uncover the truth.
We understand that people only reach out to an Australian private detective firm like Spousebusters because they are dealing with something stressful. Something deeply personal. Something that they may not have even told their closest friend.

We do not share information pertinent to your case with anyone. We do not discuss your case outside our team of qualified private investigators.

Your business is your business. Spousebusters ensure it stays that way.
A private investigator is a licenced professional that gathers information, conducts surveillance, collects evidence, and performs investigations on behalf of private individuals, businesses, legal firms, and insurance companies.
The cost of hiring a private investigator in Australia varies depending on the type of investigation being conducted, the complexity of the case, the location, and the hours required. But on average, private investigator rates start at $120 per hour and $1.20 per km.
Private investigators in Australia can conduct surveillance, gather evidence, perform background checks, interview witnesses, locate individuals, and investigate suspected fraud or misconduct. However, they cannot illegally access private records, hack accounts, trespass, or install listening devices.

Private investigators can collect photographic evidence, video footage, witness statements, activity logs, public records, and observational evidence obtained lawfully during an investigation. All evidence must be gathered in accordance with Australian law to maximise its admissibility in court.
Private investigator surveillance involves discreetly observing and documenting a person’s activities, movements, associations and behaviour. Depending on the nature of the investigation, this may involve following a subject, monitoring their movements from a fixed location, capturing photographic or video evidence, and preparing detailed investigative reports.
Yes. Private investigators can assist in child custody cases by gathering evidence relating to a child’s welfare, parental behaviour, living conditions, suspected neglect, substance abuse, or breaches of custody agreements. This information may assist solicitors and provide valuable evidence in family court proceedings.

Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of professional private investigations. However, standards can vary between agencies, making it essential to choose a licensed, ethical and reputable investigator who takes privacy and discretion seriously.
The length of a private investigation depends on the complexity of the case, availability of evidence, surveillance requirements, and the subject’s movements or behaviour. Some investigations may be completed within hours, while others can take days or weeks.
In most cases, the person being investigated will not be aware of the surveillance. Experienced private investigators are trained to conduct surveillance discreetly and professionally to avoid detection.
When hiring a private detective in Australia, choose a licensed and reputable agency with transparent pricing, clear communication, strong client reviews, and a proven track record in cases similar to yours. Confidentiality and professionalism are essential.
A private investigator typically requires foundational information about the subject, including their name, photographs, known addresses, workplaces, vehicle details, routines, and any relevant background information that may assist the investigation.
In Australia, surveillance becomes illegal when it breaches privacy, trespass, stalking, or surveillance device laws either state or federal. The legality often depends on where the surveillance occurs and whether a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.
At Spousebusters, we understand that no two investigations are ever the same. Every client comes to us with a unique set of circumstances, concerns and objectives. Which is why we provide a comprehensive range of private investigation services tailored to the circumstances of the client. Whether you are dealing with a deeply personal matter at home or a serious corporate issue requiring professional intelligence gathering, our team of licenced, qualified Australian private investigators have the experience, resources and discretion to help uncover the truth.
With over 20 years of private investigation experience, Spousebusters has built a reputation as one of Australia’s leading full-service private investigation agencies. Our licensed investigators utilise proven surveillance techniques, advanced investigative technology and meticulous evidence-gathering methods to deliver accurate, actionable results. Services include, but are not limited to, the following:
If you suspect your spouse is cheating on you, let Spousebusters find out the truth for you—discretely.
With current Australian-wide data suggesting that between 40% and 70% of ALL Australian marriages experience an extra-marital affair (60% of married men and 40% of married women), that nagging suspicion you have that your husband, wife, or significant other is cheating on you, may well be true.
Spousebusters has been catching cheating spouses in the act since 2005, with clients coming from all walks of life, including celebrities, high-profile corporate executives, business professionals, housewives and everyone in between.
So, if you want to know the truth about your partner, call Spousebusters today on 1300 776 873. You deserve to KNOW THE TRUTH—and confidentiality is GUARANTEED.
Alcohol and gambling addition is one of the most complicated and difficult issues a couple can face, because addicts (and that is ultimately what they are) will do ANYTHING to hide their addiction from their spouses.
Sometimes these addictions start out as simple, harmless pastimes. And that’s fine. Everyone needs a vice they can enjoy from time to time to help blow off steam. But when that vice takes over—as vices are want to do—they can RUIN FAMILIES, both financially and emotionally.
When you need to know more about a person or a business associate, conducting a background check is the best way to gain access to the required information. People who are entering into an intimate relationship (where there may be legal and financial ramifications), or companies that are entering into a business partnership with another company or an individual (where due diligence is required), will always NEED to hire a licenced PI to perform the requisite background checks—because the cost of not knowing the truth, far outweighs the cost of finding it out.
Our team of experienced private investigators specialises in handling background checks for both individuals and companies throughout Australia.
One of the most disputed issues in the Australian courts is child custody. The Family Law Act 1975 legislates for custody via ‘Parenting Orders’ (as the courts often refer to them) of children following family separation; but fighting for child custody is ALWAYS messy after a separation or divorce.
Why? Because even if you plan to go into the child custody proceedings in good faith, the chances of your embittered ex-partner having the same mindset are negatable. And, while Australia operates under a no-fault legal system (which means that issues such as infidelity or relationship breakdown are not, in themselves, determinative), evidence uncovered by our team of licensed Australian private investigators relating your ex-parent’s behaviour, lifestyle, judgment and overall stability, can still become HIGHLY RELEVANT when parenting arrangements are being assessed by the courts. And in many cases, the information our investigators uncover can be the tipping point that influences custody outcomes in YOUR FAVOUR.
In today’s world, you no longer have to be James Bond or Jason Bourne to spy on someone. Hidden cameras, miniature listening devices and GPS trackers have become smaller, cheaper and easier to obtain than ever before, making privacy breaches a VERY REAL CONCERN for both individuals and businesses alike.
In the wrong hands, this technology can be literally RUIN LIVES.
Spousebusters offer discreet counter surveillance services to help determine whether or not your privacy has been compromised. Our licenced Australian private investigators can conduct comprehensive sweeps of homes, vehicles, offices and electronic devices to identify potential surveillance threats and help secure vulnerable environments.
Where ‘Counter Surveillance’ is concerned, it always pays to remember that old saying: “Just because I’m paranoid, doesn’t mean I’m not being watched.”
Few situations in life are more distressing than not knowing where a loved one is or whether they are safe. Maybe your partner has gone missing? Maybe your teenage child has run away? Or maybe a friend has disappeared without a forwarding address, so you are understandably concerned for their safety? No matter what the circumstances are, the ‘not knowing’ part can be hugely distressing. And is in many cases, time critical.
Spousebusters undertake confidential missing person investigations designed to help families, friends and concerned parties reestablish contact with the ones they’ve lost. Using a combination of surveillance, database research, intelligence gathering and traditional investigative techniques, our experienced investigators work diligently to trace movements, verify information and follow every viable lead in the search for the missing person you’re so desperately seeking.
People with something to hide often attempt to make themselves disappear. They change their phone number, they move towns, they assume alternate identities—all to avoid the consequences of their actions.
And that’s where skip tracing comes in. Skip tracing is commonly used when someone is ignoring financial obligations, evading the serving of documents, or attempting to stay one step ahead of creditors, solicitors or other parties with a legitimate need to locate them. In situations such as this, hiring a licenced Australian private detective service like Spousebusters to initiate skip tracing is worth its weight in gold.
Spousebusters conducts skip tracing enquiries for individuals, businesses and legal professionals who need to locate hard-to-find people for practical, commercial or legal reasons. Whatever the nefarious reasons people try to make themselves ‘disappear,’ our qualified private detectives will locate them for you. And as we have licensed investigators right around Australia, there is no place they can hide that we can’t find them.
At Spousebusters, we supply a carefully selected range of high-quality spy and surveillance products designed to assist with lawful private investigations, personal security, asset protection, and evidence gathering. From GPS tracking devices and covert cameras to audio recording equipment and counter-surveillance tools, our products are sourced with reliability, performance, and discretion in mind.
Importantly, Spousebusters only sells legal spy products permitted under Australian law. We do not stock or recommend illegal surveillance devices, prohibited listening devices, or products intended for unlawful interception of private communications. We strongly encourage all customers to ensure they understand the surveillance, privacy, and listening device laws applicable in their state or territory before using any equipment. When you purchase from Spousebusters, you can do so with confidence knowing you are dealing with experienced private investigators who understand both the practical and legal realities of modern surveillance.
When you need answers, you need private investigators you can trust. People who not only guarantee results, but who understand the meaning of CONFIDENTIALITY. When you need answers, you need SPOUSEBUSTERS.
Call us today on 1300 776 873. You deserve to know the TRUTH.
