We welcome you to contact our office to discuss your needs.
SURVEILLANCE
Covert surveillance, professionally conducted is an invaluable
tool in obtaining evidence. The AWI surveillance team is highly
regarded in the industry. Our experienced investigators are
able to follow and conduct close observations of a person or
location to obtain information concerning activities, which
are recorded on video and written format whilst remaining covert.
They are equipped with the latest cameras and communications
systems.
Planned and sensitive handling of surveillance
is a trademark of AWI. Foreseeing possible difficulties and
developing initiatives to obtain results is an important part
of our work.
We provide reliable, timely covert and cost effective service.
INSURANCE
INVESTIGATIONS
Factual investigators diligently investigate the claim. The
information gathered allows for more certain conclusions about
potential legal liability. Thorough investigation of an insurance
claim can result in withdraw or denying of the claim, early
settlement, or establish contributory liability and recovery.
Our investigators establish the circumstances surrounding the
claim and interview all relevant parties to determine the facts.
The investigation includes a site inspection and relevant background
inquiries, contractual obligations/agreements and statutory
standards.
All claims are investigated professionally by experienced personnel
who specialise in Workers Compensation, Public Liability, Compulsory
Third Party, Common Law, Personal Accident, Income Protection
and General insurance claims.
LITIGATION
SUPPORT
We conduct inquiries, interview witnesses and obtain evidence
for criminal defence or civil proceedings.
SAFETY
AUDITS / RISK MANAGEMENT
Providing a safe environment is a fundamental requirement for
retaining valuable employees and customers and minimising personal
injury claims.
Minimise the risk of potential litigation and maximise the safety
of your employees and the public.
AWI's professional team can assist your company to take a pro-active
approach and ensure your company complies with industry standards.
AWI can prepare a risk analysis and assist to establish safety
policy and procedures. We also conduct employee training regarding
personal safety in the workplace and reducing the risk to the
public.
SECURITY
RISK SURVEYS
A security risk survey is an essential part of any risk management
program. The survey defines the current environment and identifies
risks and probable consequences.
The survey identifies existing security controls, exposes
vulnerabilities and evaluates the effect of threats on areas
of vulnerability.
COMMERCIAL
PROPERTY SURVEYS
A detailed survey is essential to assist underwriters in the
evaluation of risk.
Our comprehensive survey reports allow an analysis to the risk
factors and enable insurance terms to set and offered.
Our surveys identify the nature of the business, quality of
construction, extraneous perils, fire protection, security systems,
locking devices, cash management, loss of profits, utility services,
heating/cooling, liability, kitchen/cooking facilities, claim
history. Our reports include risk improvement recommendations.
INTERNAL
FRAUD AND THEFT
Losing assets, productivity, clients or stock from your business? Whether it's theft of tangible items, an employee with
conflicting interests targeting your client base, or a more complex paper based fraud, the result is the same - money, and potentially reputation, lost.
Making allegations or dismissing employees without solid evidence
can result in unfair dismissal claims or industrial action.
Our experienced specialist fraud investigator Jason Atkinson can udertake a thorough investigation and where appropriate conduct interviews, obtain witness statements, analyse records and prepare briefs of evidence.
In addition to his police experience Jason holds a Graduate Certificate in Fraud Investigation, Graduate Certificate Investigation & Intelligence, Certificate IV Business, Certificate IV Security & Risk Management, Certificate III Investigative Services, Certificate IV Assessment & Workplace Training and is a member of the Australian Institute of Professional Investigators.
Contact Jason at AWI for a confidential, obligation free meeting to discuss your requirements.
VANDALISM
AND LOSS
The cost of vandalism and loss on construction sites and other
premises amounts to millions of dollars per year.
Our loss prevention investigations include surveillance, undercover
operations, witness interviews, hidden cameras and background
checks.
DUE DILIGENCE
As we move into the era of globalisation and free trade,
foreign acquisitions, mergers and trading partnerships are increasingly
common. Many companies elect to make a small investment in a
'due diligence' inquiry to ensure the individual or company
they're dealing with is a suitable partner for the proposed
transaction.
A due diligence report may save your organisation money, assist
in negotiations or give you peace of mind.
COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE
In a competitive world, information is everything. Cutting
edge companies continually evaluate and monitor their current
and potential competitors. Competitor analysis reports can provide
your business with valuable information on competitor products,
strategies, business partners, strengths and weaknesses.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Intellectual property can be your most valuable asset. Whether
your IP is the written word, visual or audio product, a brand
name, or a patented design, unauthorised use or counterfeiting
can have long term consequences. Not only can it result in the
loss of revenue, but in diminished company image created by
poor quality counterfeits.
AWI can investigate the manufacturing and sale of counterfeit
goods, obtain video and survey/ witness evidence, negotiate
seizure of the goods and refer the matter to authorities where
appropriate.
PRODUCT
LIABILITY
Allegations of defective products or contamination can result
in negative media coverage and impact heavily on your business.
Early intervention and negotiations can often prevent that.
Where the product is the subject of litigation, thorough investigation
of the incident and diplomatic negotiations can result in an
action being withdrawn or a reduced settlement.
DEBUGGING
In this technological age bugs come in all shapes and sizes,
FM and RF transmitters, IR bugs, laser beams, and Burst bugs
to name a few.
Our security consultant has extensive experience in electronics
and telecommunications and is equipped with the latest state
of the art detection equipment to put your mind at rest.
MISSING
PERSONS/ SKIP TRACING
AWI can assist with locating witnesses or relatives or any other
individual, for legitimate reasons.
Our success rate is over 90%.
DOMESTIC
INVESTIGATIONS
Suspicious about the behaviour of a child or spouse? A domestic
investigation could set your mind at ease or confirm your concerns,
giving you the knowledge you need to take further action or
confront the situation.
DISCIPLINARY INVESTIGATIONS
AWI factual investigators undertake investigations into allegations of disciplinary breaches including claims of discrimination, bullying and harrassment, theft and fraud, inappropriate workplace conduct and breaches relating to safety, drugs and alcohol. AWI investigators have a good knowledge of relevant legislation and strong verbal and written communication skills.

BACKGROUND/
CREDENTIAL CHECKS
Want to know the truth about your prospective business or personal
partner, a course you're contemplating, or a business you're
dealing with? We conduct inquiries to establish:
the
character and financial status of an individual;
the credentials of persons operating a business or
offering a course; or
whether a course being offered is recognised by the
appropriate bodies.
PRE
- EMPLOYMENT SCREENING
Surveys show, 68% of resumes are fraudulent to some extent.
Everyone puts a positive 'spin' on his or her resume. Many individuals
take it further and entirely misrepresent their skills, abilities
and qualifications. They may also provide fictitious or personal
references rather than true business references.
Our prospective employee checks can confirm the credentials
and character of the applicant, or discover their dishonesty
before it costs your company money.
INTERNET INVESTIGATIONS
Whilst a tremendous advance in technology, there is little control
over internet information. A person or business can represent
himself or herself in any way they choose, for a variety of
purposes, with little chance of being discovered. AWI can establish
the credibility of representations made on the Internet.
COUNTER-STALKING
The psychological effects of being stalked can be enormous.
In many instances evidence is required prior to the authorities
being able to take effective action. We can assist by identifying
the stalker and obtaining evidence required.
