Find My Family 

Historical Locates are defined as finding people who are missing or unable to be easily contacted through conventional means. 

Whether searching for loved ones, lost relatives, biological parents, adoptions, siblings, long lost friends or even a childhood sweetheart, historical locates is something we at MIA are very passionate about. 

We have a high success rate and a tenacious work ethic in finding that missing clue that reveals a person’s whereabouts. Sometimes people have been missing for 50 years or so. Whether it be reuniting a family or acting as an understanding and experienced mediator in the process of connecting an unsuspecting parent with a son or daughter, MIA will manage your situation with discretion and understanding. 

Many of these projects not only identify the whereabouts of loved ones but also reveal other previously unknown siblings, and other relatives.

Pre-Marital Checks/Identity Verification 

In a world where the internet and social media are now our main means of making connections, romantically or otherwise, we unfortunately expose ourselves to a world of scammers, con artists and love rats! 

We have often found in working with clients that their evolving conversations and experiences online can lead them to a false sense of security and trust with someone they really don’t know – they just feel like they do! 

Sadly, we all too often see the consequences of blind trust on a client’s part coupled with some extremely manipulative and deceitful individuals. 

Whether it is an instinct or if something just doesn’t add up, or you are simply moving into a more serious stage in a relationship, a pre-marital check could be one of your best investments. Don’t wait until it is too late!

Discreet investigations by MIA could save you from emotional trauma, grief and financial loss.

Surveillance Investigations 

Covert Surveillance is the craft of being able to make full observations of targeted individuals in a way that they are unaware they are being watched and their movements recorded. With a large database of trusted surveillance agents across Australia, MIA provides detailed reports and photographic evidence of a person(s) under surveillance, in order to support claims in court or private settlements. 

MIA, in collaboration with APSG, are the leaders in providing corporate and domestic professional surveillance services here in Australia and overseas.

Covert/Undercover Assignments

With an extensive police background in undercover operations, the principal of MIA, Damian Marrett, is well-versed on what is required to craft covert assignments to work in any situation. 

From basic pretext enquiries to more complex and ongoing operations, all covert activities meet the high ethical, professional and legal standards required. 

Having worked across Australia and around the world, MIA understands the varying laws and regulations that apply in multiple jurisdictions. Our connections across the law enforcement sector are second to none.

Debugging Services 

With listening devices, sophisticated electronic cameras and GPS locating equipment generally available for purchase over the internet and electronic stores, the increase in their use in commercial and domestic situations has become an ever-increasing concern for privacy and intelligence theft. 

In simple terms, bugs or listening devices come in all shapes and sizes. Some are continually emitting signals while others store and later emit radio frequency transmissions in an attempt to remain undetected. 

Different types of bugs give off a large range of frequencies and specialist equipment is required to check the entire radio frequency (RF) spectrum. Only an expert debugging professional armed with the latest, most sophisticated equipment and ongoing training in these devices in use, can conduct a true physical and electronic bug sweep to uncover any and all types of electronic bugs planted in boardrooms, office buildings, houses, vehicles and communication devices. 

In the MIA team we are amongst the best debugging experts in Australia. A confidential conversation with us will provide you with the assurances you are entitled to expect.

Family Law Matters 

Child Custody disputes, domestic violence, court orders and other legal matters may involve a variety of investigational services. 

Each family’s situation is different and will be considered that way so as to ensure best practices are applied in every circumstance. While discretion is paramount in all investigations conducted by MIA, the need for understanding, empathy and professionalism in matters involving the safety and welfare of clients and their family members, is equally important. Especially as often these matters happen at the most vulnerable time of their lives.

Our clients include those with public profiles and with a high need for privacy, to those who simply have nowhere else to turn. All are treated with equal respect, discretion and professionalism to ensure the best outcome possible. 

When people are at imminent risk, including violent domestic situations, we will facilitate safe removal from that dangerous environment.

Welfare Checks

Worried about a loved one, family or friend? Addictions and a range of mental health issues can cause you deep concern. Or maybe it’s simply that someone you know, and love has dropped off the radar? Both overt or discreet welfare checks can be carried out anywhere in Australia for all national and international clients.

Phone and Device Data Recovery 

It takes less than a minute for someone to download spy malware onto your mobile phone or computer allowing them to monitor not only your movements but private text messages, emails, live telephone conversations and even banking details. 

Our phone and device data recovery experts can detect malware and other foreign data from your phone or other devices and recommend fixes.
