Private investigators serving Newcastle
Newcastle. Our base, and the first place we work.
Factual investigations, surveillance, incident investigations and aerial scene capture across the City of Newcastle, for insurers, claims agents, self-insurers, employers and solicitors.
Newcastle is the City of Newcastle local government area, from Newcastle East and the harbour to Wallsend, Beresfield and Fletcher. Factum Investigations is based here, so city work is scheduled directly, with no regional travel to arrange. Travel times shown on our other location pages are approximate driving times from Newcastle.
Employment in the city is concentrated in hospitals and other health and social assistance services, higher education, and cafes, restaurants and takeaway food (2021 Census). The harbour is a working port, which its operator describes as the largest deepwater port on the east coast. Some Newcastle employers are licensed self-insurers; others are covered through the Nominal Insurer and its claims agents. We take referrals from both.

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.
- Scheduling is by appointment, with interview dates set to fit the written notice the insurer gives the worker. In Newcastle there is no travel to arrange.
The limits we keep
