flag Queensland Police repeatedly exposed domestic violence survivors’ addresses due to a flawed system, leading to tracking, violence, and threats.

flag Queensland Police failed to protect domestic violence survivors’ addresses for years, despite knowing since at least 2017 that their system could unintentionally disclose them to offenders due to an autofill flaw. flag Between 2020 and 2023, seven cases of unauthorized disclosure occurred, including three instances where offenders tracked victims, two resulting in new violence, and several involving threats of murder. flag The breach stemmed from inadequate technical and administrative safeguards, violating privacy laws. flag Though no compliance notice was issued after corrective actions began in 2024, officials acknowledged systemic failures and pledged ongoing reforms to strengthen data protection and victim support.
