Why Choose Us?
Investigate Smart is a licensed private investigation firm based in Melbourne, working across Victoria and Australia-wide on digital matters. We locate people, trace phone numbers and email addresses, and handle corporate due diligence, deceased estate and beneficiary tracing, family law support, background checks and cybersecurity assessments.
What clients are really buying is certainty. Every engagement follows the same discipline: we agree the scope and what a result would look like, we work only through lawful sources, we verify a finding before we report it, and we document what was searched and what it showed — so the result holds up whether it is used in a family conversation, a boardroom or a courtroom. If we do not think a matter is likely to succeed, we tell you before you engage us.
Solicitors, executors, businesses and private individuals instruct us. Every matter is handled confidentially. Start with a free consultation by phone or video call, at no cost and no obligation.
