Independent Workplace Investigations
Value for money Investigations
Simple Investigations - $5,300 (ex GST)
Simple Investigations - $5,300 (ex GST)
We recognise that workplace investigations can be expensive, but they don't need to be. Some lawyers may charge up to $300 per hour. While getting legal advice is important, a simple, independent, fact finding investigation does not need to cost that much.
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.

Simple Investigations - $5,300 (ex GST)
Straightforward investigations with one complainant, one respondent and a single witness should not be expensive.
We will charge less than expensive employment lawyers, who traditionally provide services for large businesses and government organisations.
These investigations can be managed by us simply and with value for money in mind.
Medium Investigations - $10,000 (ex GST)
When an investigation involves more than one witness, additional evidence, or requires a deeper analysis, it naturally takes more time.
We still keep costs in check with a capped fee of $10,000, ensuring a thorough and fair process without surprises.
We’ll work with you to define the scope upfront, so the investigation remains focused and efficient.
Complex Investigations - We will scope and discuss with you.
Investigations with more complexity will take more time.
Occasionally, we may need to interview more witnesses. Sometimes there may be more than one complaint, as well as more 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.
Our investigation approach
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. This would be a good time to take legal advice from your lawyers but you will make significant savings by using our services first.
We will give you a verbal brief on our investigation and answer questions to help you make your final decisions.
We have developed a one-page, five-step process that you can download and review with your team to help you understand our approach.
