Reporting on numbers of subpoenas made to 1800 RESPECT

Written by Claude Haiku 5.5 from the extracted text on 14 Oct 2026. It can miss or misread redacted and scanned pages. Check the source before relying on it.

The release comprises 22 short operational meeting packs and RFI (request for information) updates between DSS and Telstra Health concerning 1800RESPECT, the national sexual assault and domestic family violence counselling service. Each pack covers a two-week reporting period from August 2025 to June 2026. The tables track a count of subpoenas received, which ranged from zero to four per period, with most periods recording one to three. Several other rows are fully redacted under section 22, so the nature of the other items is not visible. The documents disclose no policy decisions, funding figures or caseload data beyond these subpoena counts. Much of the text is repeated copyright and FOI boilerplate, and several cover pages carry inconsistent or garbled legislative references, which may affect how the release is cited.
