A Violet Co Sexual Assault Legal Practice service

You don't have to carry this alone.

Record what happened to you, privately, with a law firm that believes you. Your record is held by our solicitors and nothing happens unless you want it to. If others name the same person, we tell you — separately, safely — and if you choose, we act together. It is free.

Record what happened   See how it works

From one record to collective action

On your own, it is your word against theirs. When three people name the same person, it isn't any more. We look for that pattern so you don't have to.

A free, survivor-led legal service

Violet Co is Australia's dedicated sexual assault legal practice — survivor-led, Indigenous-owned, and a certified social enterprise. Registering costs nothing, and if a group forms, we represent you without charge.

Who we are →

Your safety and privacy first

Your record is legally privileged, held in Australia, and seen only by our solicitors. The person you name is never contacted. You can pause, withdraw or have everything deleted at any time.

In brief

Six steps, all at your pace

  1. Record what happened, and who did it, in your own words. You become a Violet Co client the moment you do — legal privilege applies.
  2. Held safely. Your record sits with our solicitors. Nothing happens unless you want it to.
  3. Connected. If three people name the same person, our software flags it.
  4. Reviewed by a solicitor before anyone is told. Every connection is checked by a person.
  5. Advised. We tell each of you — separately — and explain the options. Your group decides together what, if anything, to do.
  6. Together. If the group agrees to act, one Violet Co lawyer represents you all, start to finish.

The full journey

Who can use the Register

Anyone 18 or over, anywhere in Australia

There is no time limit. It doesn't matter whether it happened last month or thirty years ago, whether you were a child, a teenager or an adult, or whether you have ever told anyone before.

You don't need to be sure it "counts". You don't need to have reported to police — and recording here never stops you from doing so, at any time.
