How We Work
Our Process: Professional, Discreet, and Focused on Results
At Investigative Solutions, we believe every case deserves a tailored approach. While every investigation is different, our commitment stays the same—we're professional, discreet, and completely focused on delivering results that make a real difference in your life.
Step 1: Confidential Consultation
It all starts with a conversation. We take the time to listen to your situation, understand your concerns, and discuss what outcome you're hoping for. This initial consultation is completely confidential—no judgement, just genuine understanding and professional guidance.
Step 2: Tailored Investigation Plan
Based on your specific needs, we develop a customized investigation strategy. We'll explain our approach, discuss timelines and costs upfront, and ensure you're comfortable with every aspect of the plan before we proceed.
Step 3: Professional Investigation
Our licensed detectives get to work using a combination of proven techniques—surveillance, background checks, digital investigations, and evidence gathering. We use professional-grade equipment and methods that have been refined over 15 years of experience across Melbourne.
Step 4: Regular Updates
Throughout the investigation, we maintain open communication so you're never left in the dark. We'll keep you informed of progress and any significant developments as they happen.
Step 5: Comprehensive Reporting
Once we've gathered the evidence, we provide you with a detailed report including photographs, video footage (where applicable), and all relevant documentation. Our reports are thorough, clear, and admissible in court if required.
Step 6: Ongoing Support
Even after the investigation concludes, we're here to answer your questions and provide guidance on next steps, whether that's legal proceedings, personal decisions, or simply processing what you've learned.
Our approach isn't just about finding answers—it's about supporting you through what's often one of the most challenging periods of your life. You can trust us to handle your case with the discretion, empathy, and genuine commitment you deserve.
