QLD Housing Application

Detects populated Queensland social / public housing applications and housing register records: a housing application or housing register phrase combined with a named applicant or household member, household income, household size or current address. Phrase-only mentions stay discovery-only.

Type: regex
Engine: boost_regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Enforce tiers require populated applicant, income, household or address fields next to the housing phrase; eligibility pages, media releases and blank forms stay at 65. Medium because housing-provider correspondence can carry the same fields.

Known false positives

Housing eligibility pages, fact sheets and ministerial media releases about the housing register. Mitigation: They carry no populated applicant, income, household or address field and guidance/news framing is excluded, so they stay at 65.
'Priority assessment' in unrelated operational or software contexts. Mitigation: The phrase alone is discovery-only; enforce tiers need populated applicant structure.
