Your romantic relationship is evolving. Maybe you are in a romantic relationship with someone and things are progressing; they haven’t shared enough of their past or you just want to be sure that they are being truthful.
Due Diligence. Before entering into important business or financial agreements, you want to confirm that the individual you’re conducting business with does not have any skeletons in the closet.

What Our Clients Say
Advanced Background Check Investigations
Cybertrace private investigators have extensive experience with conducting detailed and analytical background checks, giving you the most complete picture possible.
- Initial Consultation All investigations start with a consultation or assessment to ensure our team understands each case. We offer different types of background checks, and we also have the capacity to tailor searches based on the client’s requirements.
- Data Collection and Assessment Our private investigators will require all relevant information you have to understand the ‘starting point’. When full details of the individual to be investigated are known before we commence, it can reduce the time required to identify the person’s details, address and online presence.
- The Investigation The investigation team begins the case using a range of advanced tools, proprietary databases and investigative methods that will gather information on the individual in question. As private investigators, we have access to unique data that others cannot access. With millions of private records available and international reach, our team provides comprehensive, tailored results.
- Review and Verification All investigations undergo a review process to ensure accuracy and verification of results. Our investigation reports are intended for the use of legal proceedings, and we ensure consistent accuracy and results.
- Report Outcome Upon completion, the background check report is produced to a legal standard. The report our client receives includes all our investigative searches undertaken, demonstrates the methodology followed, and provides professional assessment and intelligence. It is one thing to find information; it is another to provide significant value through proper analysis and assessment.

Questions We Hear Most
A background check is a comprehensive analysis of an individual’s history, surrounding various aspects such as court attendance history, employment, real estate, clubs, companies and business, relationships and social media history.
While employers most frequently order background checks during the hiring process, anyone who may want to learn more about someone and verify their history can order a background check. You may also want a background check to gain insight into a potential romantic partner or business partner’s history.
Background checks are legal in Australia, however, they must be conducted in compliance with the Privacy Act and other relevant laws. A criminal check can only be ordered though if the person being investigated agrees to have this done. However, as private investigators, Cybertrace can access court attendance records to identify where the person has ever attended criminal or civil courts.
Yes, you can order a background check on yourself! Some individuals might do this to discover what a future employer might see online or to discover their own cyber footprint.
Our background checks take roughly two weeks to complete. However, our workload varies and more complex cases, or more detailed corporate due diligence cases can take longer.
Background checks can include, but are not limited to, criminal and civil court appearance history, information on any bankruptcies, property ownership, tenancy, business or company registration, past and current addresses, people the Subject resided with, domains or websites hosted by the Subject, social media history as well as any relevant associations with others and any appearances in news and media. Our background checks go much further than basic database searches, we provide valuable intelligence that others do not.
