Survivors of domestic violence in regional Queensland have a new tool to discreetly share personal information, in what's believed to be an Australian-first initiative.

The SAFEcard allows survivors of domestic violence to inform receptionists and practitioners they would prefer to share their private information — name, address and phone number — in writing rather than risk others nearby overhearing their details.
