PI Licensing Changes for NSW

On 1 July 2022 the NSW Commercial Agents and Private Inquiry Agents Act 2004 (CAPI) has been repealed. From that date:

  • CAPI licences cease to exist
  • New investigators are issued with a full licence (the probationary period has been abolished)
  • SLED will remain responsible for the licensing of private inquiry agents, but they will be known as private investigators - a new subclass of security licence
