We are a licensed Ipswich private investigator, Ipswich private detective, service; we investigate suspected Ipswich Workers Compensation fraud, Workers Compensation insurance claim fraud.

This is also known as Ipswich WorkCover fraud. What we do is legal; we have many years experience investigating, gathering evidence for clients.

We are aware of the quirk in legislation that requires the employer to provide evidence of fraud, once a claim has been accepted, to convince the insurer to launch their own investigation. Once a claim is accepted the standard for a complaint is reasonably suspect fraud. This requires evidence. We are a way to gather this evidence.

An Ipswich Workers Compensation fraud suspicion investigation is a private investigation, to gather evidence of Workers Compensation fraud, for the employer, the business. This is to elevate the level of suspicion to the 'reasonable suspicion' standard the insurance company requires.

A reasonable suspicion requires evidence.  A private investigation is required to obtain the evidence. For the employer this is about protecting the business against future insurance liability, and possibly moving the insurance provider to commence further actions, investigations.

As the evidence is lawfully obtained it can be used for submission to the fraud section of the insurer (the front desk you deal with is more a rehabilitation coordinator, focused on the injured worker). It can be used for negotiation, reducing exposure to a civil claim, and court purposes.

We are here to protect the Ipswich employer from fraud, to provide the evidence which reduces both short term, and long term, costs. Workers Compensation fraud is a cost to business, and where margins are thin, may be enough to destroy the business. This include the uninsured person duped by someone, who claims against them.

We do conduct factual investigations, we have a small cadre of excellent factual investigators; most calls are for Workers Compensation surveillance, as the claim has already been accepted. We are very experienced in Workers Compensation surveillance investigations, as a private investigator service.

We do, on occasion, do both aspects, especially for rural matters, where no investigation was undertaken, originally. We investigate Ipswich Workers Compensation fraud, Ipswich WorkCover fraud, for both the Government insured, and the privately insured.

Contact us when you need to investigate. We provide a firm quote, and supply the necessary correspondence for engagement. Do not forward us anything that the injured worker has supplied, as this may be a breach of their privacy. We do need to know the claimed circumstances, and claimed restrictions.

For the Government Workcover insured you are usually looking at a week of surveillance, as a minimum. If you get good evidence, depending on where you are in the process, a couple of days of confirming evidence a wekk or two later, is insurance.

For the self insured the requirements are higher. This is because you cannot just hand off your concerns to an insurance provider to continue investigating. The self insured may need multiple periods, over months, or years, for long term claims.

Those that go through a broker fall in between the above. The insurance you have chosen was usually the cheapest premium, not the best protection. This places more onus on you.

For surveillance purposes a week may be 5, 6, or 7 days, depending on what is known, and what restrictions are indicated. Generally the surveillance is not of a person undertaking their return to work activities, but of them engaging in a social environment, sport, leisure activities, home maintenance, or sometime working for themselves, or someone else.

Not all Workers Compensation claims are fraud, are deceptive. Most are not. You can see the injured worker engaging, recovering, returning to work. We are not contacted about these. We investigate the 'other' matters.

Indications of Workers Compensation fraud, of deception, include a worker not engaging, avoiding return to work activities, a morphing claim (especially to a mental injury, which is the new 'back' injury so popular years ago as a claim), doctor shopping, or information coming to hand of activity inconsistent with the claim.

For some it is the extensive time off for a minor injury, a claim that the injury is not improving, or those that were suddenly injured when chastised at work, or as a contract finished. Some seem to be looking for early retirement, with extras.

When you suspect Workers Compensation insurance fraud, Workcover fraud, deception by an employee, contact us to investigate. Do look after your security when doing so. Be in a secure place, use a secure phone, a secure email. Private investigation requires no rumours reaching the subject.

In basic terms fraud, deception, in these matters has two costs. One is the here and now costs of paying for someone not to work, medical bills, and the cost of providing a replacement worker. The other is things like modifications to vehicles, houses, carers, or other needs, and the costs associated with the subsequent civil payout, once the injury is stabilised, for some.

These costs are not borne by the insurer, in reality they are paid by the insured, over years, with elevated insurance premiums, above industry average. Government insurance runs on cost recovery plus some, private insurance wants a profit.

There is also the incidental cost of a worker getting away with a deception, fraud against the employer, where it is known to other workers. They may become emboldened to do something similar, to claim against the business, the employer.
