Skip tracing in Sydney
We conduct skip tracing across Sydney and New South Wales — locating people, debtors and businesses, and serving documents filed in NSW courts. Investigator licensing in New South Wales is administered by the Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED) within the NSW Police Force.
What is different about working in New South Wales
NSW licensing
Inquiry agent work in New South Wales is regulated by SLED under the Commercial Agents and Private Inquiry Agents Act 2004 (NSW). Work in NSW is conducted in accordance with those requirements.
NSW court documents
Documents filed in the Local, District and Supreme Courts of NSW and at NCAT are served with a sworn affidavit of service provided.
NSW property searches
Title and encumbrance searches run through NSW Land Registry Services — relevant where a Sydney debtor's property position determines whether enforcement is worth pursuing.
Greater Sydney is large
A Parramatta attendance and a Bondi attendance are different jobs. Coverage spans the full metropolitan area plus the Central Coast, Newcastle and Wollongong, with travel quoted upfront.
