Workplace Investigations across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Perth
Trauma-informed, procedurally fair investigations into workplace complaints, misconduct and code of conduct breaches, led by experienced independent investigators.
Fair, thorough, and properly documented
Workplace investigations need care as much as rigour. Our licensed, trained investigators handle complaints of misconduct, bullying, harassment and code of conduct breaches identifying the real issues, gathering relevant evidence, applying procedural fairness, and preparing findings that decision-makers can rely on and that will hold up if challenged.
Noble Shore’s investigators are trained in trauma-informed practice, recognising how stress and distress can affect memory, communication and behaviour during an investigation. This doesn’t change the standard of evidence or the rigour of our findings, it changes how we create the conditions for people to give their account clearly and fairly.
Our goal isn’t just to establish the facts; it’s to help restore trust in the workplace once the investigation is complete, in line with our values of respect, trust, integrity, innovation and courage.
