Melbourne Workplace Bullying Investigation
Workplace bullying allegations present significant challenges for Melbourne businesses. These sensitive matters require careful handling to ensure fairness, maintain workplace harmony, and mitigate legal risks. When complaints arise, organizations face a critical decision: conduct an internal investigation or engage external professionals. This choice can significantly impact the investigation’s outcome, employee trust, and your organization’s reputation.
The Benefits of Independent Workplace Investigations
When workplace bullying complaints arise, having an independent investigator can make all the difference. Jolasers Investigations provides Melbourne organizations with thorough, unbiased workplace bullying investigations that protect both employees and employers.

Organizations have a legal obligation to provide a safe workplace, which includes addressing bullying complaints promptly and effectively.
At Jolasers Investigations, we specialize in conducting thorough, impartial workplace bullying investigations across Melbourne. Our experienced team follows a structured approach that ensures all parties are heard and evidence is carefully examined, leading to fair and defensible outcomes.
The Cost-Effective Approach to Workplace Investigations
Here’s an industry insight that could save your organization significant costs: Many companies engage law firms to conduct workplace bullying investigations, paying premium hourly rates. What they don’t realize is that these law firms often outsource the actual investigation work to specialized investigation companies like Jolasers Investigations, who charge lower hourly rates.
Why pay the law firm’s premium rates for 15-25 hours of investigation work when you can engage Jolasers Investigations directly? If you need legal advice on the investigation findings, you can still consult a law firm for a couple of hours at their higher rate – resulting in substantial cost savings without compromising on quality or legal protection.
“Our clients are often surprised to learn they can save thousands of dollars by engaging us directly for workplace bullying investigations, rather than through a law firm intermediary. We deliver the same professional quality at a more reasonable rate.”

When organizations attempt to conduct workplace bullying investigations internally, they face significant risks that can undermine the process and lead to problematic outcomes. Internal investigations often struggle with perceptions of bias, regardless of how fairly they’re conducted.
When a manager or HR professional investigates a bullying complaint involving colleagues, there’s an inherent risk that one party will perceive favoritism. This perception can exist even when the investigator makes every effort to remain impartial. The aggrieved party will often scrutinize the investigation process looking for evidence of bias, which can lead to:
- Allegations of procedural unfairness
- Formal complaints to external bodies
- Potential legal action
- Damaged workplace relationships
- Ongoing workplace tension
By engaging an external professional like Jolasers Investigations, you eliminate these risks. Our independence from your organization ensures that all parties receive fair treatment, and the investigation process remains free from internal politics or preconceptions.
“The most common issue we see is organizations attempting to handle sensitive bullying investigations internally, only to face allegations of bias that undermine the entire process. External investigators provide the independence needed for all parties to trust the outcome.”
