Finding missing people

Find the brother or sister you’ve lost touch with, or locate your biological mother or father. We can help find anyone who’s important to you – no matter how long it’s been, or who they are. Missing person investigations are close to our hearts, and we’ll do our best to find your family or friends.

Cheating investigations

Are you worried your husband, wife or partner is having an affair? Gut feelings are very useful for telling you something’s wrong, but they need to be backed up by solid evidence. Our private investigators will find out for sure, and our female manager will be there to support you no matter what we find.

Background checks

New relationships are thrilling, but romance scammers are a risk for those seeking love. If you’re involved with someone but aren’t sure if they are who they claim to be, let us launch a background investigation. We’ll search for evidence that will help you decide whether to trust your new lover or not.

“No words can describe how happy I am that your investigators were successful in this case. I will be forever grateful … Thank you once again for reuniting me with my father.”

How will you give me the best chance of a successful investigation?

1. Deep searches that leave no stone unturned

Our private detectives don’t just do a quick database search and call it quits. We take the time to understand your situation and what you need. Then we carry out extensive investigations of all the relevant data sources. We go the extra mile to make sure every possible lead has been uncovered. We’ll draw connections and follow up contacts until we’re sure that no stone is left unturned. If your answer can be found, we’ll find it.

2. Your case will stay open until every piece of information is found

Your private investigation should get the attention it deserves. If we’ve done all we can but still haven’t found a satisfying answer, we’ll keep your case open for several months. After a time we will revisit your case and see if any new information has come to light. This strategy has yielded us better results in our investigations time after time.

3. 99% success rate in finding answers

Our twin strategies of deep investigations and leaving cases open means we have a very high success rate. In nearly all cases, our private investigators find definitive answers that satisfy our customers. We will try our best to find out where you missing brother is, or to discover if your employee is faking an illness.

In missing person searches, we always give a 50 / 50 chance of actually locating your loved one. Sometimes people move on and leads dry up. But we do promise that we’ll try our very best to dig all available information out.

Can I trust Melbourne Investigations?

And if you need further help, we’ll help direct you to it.

Reassuring female investigator

How much do investigations cost?

Every case is unique
