Sexual Assault Counselling Record

Detects sexual assault counselling records and the legal material that seeks or protects them, for an identified person: counselling session notes, trauma counselling and victim/survivor support records, forensic medical examination referrals, specialist sexual assault service records (Queensland SARAS, Centres Against Sexual Assault, Yarrow Place, Sexual Assault Resource Centre, sexual assault response teams), and subpoena or privilege material about protected counselling communications — Qld sexual assault counselling privilege (Evidence Act 1977 Pt 2 Div 2A), NSW sexual assault communications privilege (Criminal Procedure Act 1986 ss295-306), Vic confidential communications (Evidence (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1958 Div 2A), and WA, SA, Tas, ACT and NT equivalents. These records are subject to strong statutory privilege and carry the highest privacy protections — disclosure can re-traumatise survivors, compromise criminal proceedings, and endanger safety.

Confidence justification
Medium: sexual violence disclosure language and service names are common in news, research, awareness material and referral directories. Enforce tiers require a populated record field; 85 adds counselling or legal-process terms independent of the primary phrase. Earlier versions corroborated the 75 tier with the primary's own phrase list and required a SARAS-YYYY-NNNNN reference at 85, a format not found in any published source. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy.
