INVESTIGATIONS
We investigate workplace complaints
OUR
EXPERTISE
Our national team of legally qualified and licensed investigators has conducted more than 1,600 workplace investigations since 2011
Workplace investigations provide employers with an effective tool to make informed employment decisions.
Leading employers, government entities and law firms trust our experts to conduct timely, thorough and impartial investigations into their most complex and sensitive workplace complaints – including whistleblower allegations, sexual harassment, bullying, and misconduct involving C-suite executives, board members and senior leaders.
Our work is grounded in trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices. This includes experience interviewing and working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants throughout the investigation process.
Our investigators combine legal expertise with emotional intelligence to conduct precise interviews and deliver sound factual findings.
With experience across private, public, and not-for-profit sectors – including resources, education, finance, insurance, and healthcare – our team brings specialist knowledge to sensitive and complex matters.
This includes gender-based violence investigations in university settings and Reportable Conduct Scheme investigations.
OUR
APPROACH
We tailor each investigation, taking into account:
- the circumstances of each participant
- the nature of the allegations
- relevant workplace laws and policies
We keep clients informed at key stages of the investigation while ensuring our investigators remain independent and the process remains procedurally fair.
Rapid response investigations
Every investigation must be conducted in a timely manner. However, some matters are more urgent than others. If you require a swift turnaround, contact us about our rapid response investigation services.
Cost options
We understand cost certainty matters to employers. Our firm’s focus is on value, not time – which is why we offer fixed-fee and capped pricing options for our services.
