Independent Workplace Investigations

We recognise that workplace investigations can be expensive, but they don't need to be. We have developed a simplified process, with transparent costings, including a free, no-obligation, overview of our process demonstrating how we add value to your business.

Straightforward investigations with one complainant and one respondent should not be expensive. We can investigate these issues for less than $5,300 (ex GST).

We recognise that workplace investigations can be expensive, so we have developed a simplified process, with transparent costings, including a free, no-obligation, overview of our process demonstrating how we add value to your business.

Investigations with more complexity will take more time. Occasionally, we may need to interview witnesses, as well as the complainant and respondent. Sometimes there may be more than one complaint, as well as some documentary evidence to be analysed. 

We will discuss the best approach with you when we help prepare the Investigation Terms of Reference, but we will cap the cost for you.

Many small businesses and charities dealing with straightforward complaints do not need all the bells and whistles of a full investigation. So, we will tailor the investigation, based on your unique needs, saving you time and money.

The Terms of Reference is your direction to us to start the investigation. We have experience developing terms for investigations, so we will provide you with simple Terms of Reference at no additional cost.

We will assign an investigator to interview the parties, gather information, and then provide you with a written investigation report to consider and act on as you see fit. 

We will give you a verbal brief on our investigation and answer questions to help you make your final decisions.

We will charge less than expensive employment lawyers, traditionally providing services for large businesses and government organisations. 

Our services include standardised investigations with capped costs for interviews, capped costs for report writing, and summaries of interviews. Our Simple ($5,300 ex GST) and Medium ($10,000 ex GST) are the best value for money options for SME's. More complex and time-consuming investigations can be estimated for you during the Terms of Reference meeting.

If you are unsure your Code of Conduct is adequate, we can provide a review as an optional service. Some of the best Codes are simple, easy to understand, and easily complied with. 

Having a great Code of Conduct is a good way to avoid workplace issues.
