Process serving · Field services
Professional service of legal documents, reliable fieldwork and clear updates at every stage. For solicitors, businesses and private clients.
Service detail
Every instruction is reviewed before attendance so the approach, timing and reporting match the document, subject and required outcome.
Service of divorce applications, parenting documents, recovery orders, initiating applications and other documents issued through Australia’s family law courts. Where supplied, a clear photograph can assist identification and may be annexed to the affidavit when appropriate.
Personal service of summonses, petitions, notices, statements, subpoenas, applications, claims and other court documents. We check the service requirements and record the date, time, location and manner of service.
Face-to-face attendance for solicitors, mercantile agents, insurers, businesses and government departments. Assignments may involve debtor contact, repayment discussions, viable-asset observations, address enquiries or obtaining current contact information.
Desktop enquiries to identify a current address or useful lead when a person has moved or their whereabouts are unknown. Potential addresses can then be checked through a separately charged field call.
Recovery work is planned around the lender’s instructions and customer relationship. Where permitted by the brief, agents may first seek payment or voluntary surrender. Completed recoveries include timely reporting, condition details and photographs where possible.
Vacant possession, occupied-property attendance alongside the Sheriff where required, lock changes, property security, supervised access and coordination with removalists. A detailed condition report can include photographs and video.
Targeted observation and factual reporting tailored to your instructions. Contact us with the objective, location and timeframe so we can confirm the scope and quote.

Frequently asked questions
Clear information at the start gives the agent the best chance of completing your matter quickly and correctly.
Standard metropolitan process service includes up to three attempts at the instructed address. Attempts are made at appropriate times based on the information supplied. If further attendances or another address are needed, we will seek instructions and confirm any additional fee first.
Yes, subject to agent availability. Same-day and next-day matters attract the urgent-service surcharge shown in the pricing table. Tell us the exact deadline, hearing date and any preferred attendance window when sending the documents.
When service succeeds, we prepare the applicable affidavit of service recording how, when and where service occurred. If service is unsuccessful, an affidavit of attempted service can record the attendances and relevant observations. Court-specific requirements may affect the form used.
You receive updates after each attempt and a final account of the work completed. We may recommend another attendance, a different address, skip tracing or a field enquiry. An affidavit of attempted service can assist your solicitor or the court when considering the next procedural step.
Send every document to be served, the person’s full name, current and previous addresses, phone numbers, workplace, vehicle details, physical description, recent photograph, likely attendance times, known risks and the court deadline. Also include your name, organisation, phone number, email and billing details.
A photograph is strongly recommended where identity may be disputed. It can help the process server recognise the correct person and may be annexed to an affidavit in some family law matters.
Yes. We travel regionally as far as Northam, Bunbury and Two Rocks, with an additional $1.70/km charge based on the one-way distance from Perth CBD. National and international service is arranged through our network and quoted case by case.
