Private investigators serving the Mid North Coast

The Mid North Coast, from Taree to Coffs Harbour.

Factual investigations, surveillance, incident investigations and aerial scene capture from Taree to Coffs Harbour, for insurers, claims agents, self-insurers, employers and solicitors.

The Mid North Coast runs north from the MidCoast Council area, which takes in Taree, Forster and Gloucester, through Port Macquarie-Hastings and Kempsey to Nambucca Valley, Bellingen and Coffs Harbour. Taree is about 170 kilometres from Newcastle, a little over two hours by road; Port Macquarie about 245 kilometres, roughly three hours; Coffs Harbour about 385 kilometres, between four and five hours. Travel times are approximate driving times from Newcastle.

Employment along this coast is dominated by health and aged care (2021 Census). Around it sit farming and service industries around Kempsey, and banana and blueberry growing and tourism around Coffs Harbour. We accept referrals whichever arrangement covers the employer: a self-insurer, or the Nominal Insurer and its claims agents.

How we work here

Coast work, planned as a trip.

On the ground

  • Worker interviews are held at a place the worker nominates, with a support person or interpreter where requested. Employer and witness interviews are usually at the workplace.
  • Site inspections are arranged with the employer or occupier and recorded with measurements, photographs and video.
  • Reports record what was said, what was inspected and what the documents show, written knowing the worker may read them.
  • Distance shapes scheduling here. A Mid North Coast referral is planned as a trip, with interviews, inspections and any surveillance grouped where availability allows.

The limits we keep

  • Surveillance is conducted only in or from public places, only of the worker named in the referral, and without inducement, entrapment or trespass.
  • Aerial capture documents sites and scenes with the occupier's consent and is not used to watch or follow people.
  • We offer no opinions on medical questions, capacity, liability or recovery. Those are matters for the insurer.

Common questions

The Mid North Coast, answered plainly.

Is the Mid North Coast too far for a single interview?
No. Travel is agreed at referral, and a single interview in Taree or Port Macquarie is a day trip from Newcastle. Several interviews along the coast are planned as one visit.
How far in advance do you need a Mid North Coast referral?
Interview dates are set to fit the written notice the insurer gives the worker, and the drive north is planned around them. Tell us the town at referral and we confirm timing in writing.
Which insurers' claims do you take on the Mid North Coast?
We work for insurers, claims agents, self-insurers, employers and solicitors, and we do not name clients. We accept referrals whichever arrangement covers the employer, and from the solicitors instructed on a claim.
