For surveillance footage to be accepted by a court it must be taken from a public place, or a private place with the permission of the owner or person in possession of that place (not a sneaky camera in a bedroom of a third party, recording images in a private place).

Where the employer is forced to conduct their Workers Compensation fraud investigation, a private investigator is employed. The employer may be frustrated with the lack of action by insurance, with the insurer seeing the injured worker as the client, when the employer suspected fraud, deception. We are experienced in investigating these matters.
For the self insured the requirement for private investigator surveillance, Workcover surveillance, is because they are responsible for their own investigations, their own evidence gathering. Generally a claim, a suspect claim, may last years.
Over this period blocks of surveillance are conducted. The greater the claimed restrictions, the stronger the suspicion, the more investigation is justified. Evidence of deception, of fraud, is passed to the solicitors, who generally avoid acting too early, before sufficient evidence is obtained.
For all Workers Compensation investigations evidence has two uses. The first is to defray current costs of income support, it the subject is shown to be deceiving the insurance. The second is the longer term civil claim, where the subject claims for ongoing loss of income, pain and suffering, and future expected costs, once the injury is considered stabilised.
This court case may be years down the track. Never present the
evidence to the front desk insurance person you normally have contact with, they are more a rehab coordinator
who see's the injured worker as the client. Evidence of fraud must go to
the fraud section of insurance, or their solicitors, for the self
insured. For Government insured a copy should go to your solicitors, for their file, as well.
