Workplace Investigations

Independent & defensible Investigations.

When a complaint or allegation lands, your priority is to respond promptly, fairly and in a way that stands up to scrutiny. We run independent investigations that follow a clear process - so decisions are evidence-based, procedural fairness is maintained, and documentation is audit-ready.

  • Bullying and harassment complaints
  • Allegations and serious misconduct allegations
  • Safety breaches and workplace behaviour concerns
  • Grievances involving manager or sensitive interpersonal conflict

Common matters we investigate

  • Scope and investigation plan (clear issues to be examined)
  • Allegations and written notifications (where required)
  • Interviews and evidence gathering
  • Findings based on evidence (not assumptions)
  • A clear investigation report / findings summary (suitable for decision-making)
