Investigations

Investigations involve gathering factual information or undertaking surveillance on behalf of clients.

Our panel of licensed investigators have diverse financial, legal & law enforcement backgrounds. They are licensed through the Private Agents Registry, which is administered under the Private Agency Act 1966. Our investigators listen to client’s instructions and seek specific factual information that will assist the clients to make sound commercial decisions on how a claim or situation is to proceed or to be settled.

DRA’s objective is to provide our clients with the facts, whether they are positive or negative, and to facilitate our clients to make the important decisions.

DRA’s experienced surveillance operatives use the latest digital video technology to provide factual evidence as to the veracity of insurance claims and/or other matters which require video or photographic evidence.
