Compassionate, Confidential Support from Venus Legal

Experiencing sexual abuse or assault while serving in the military — or during a military medical assessment — can be devastating.

Many survivors feel silenced, disbelieved, or
unsure where to turn. At Venus Legal, we stand with you.

We provide specialist legal support for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse or assault within the military, whether it occurred during service or at the medical assessment stage. Our approach is survivor-focused, discreet, and driven by your goals.

Who We Help

We act for current and former military personnel who have experienced sexual abuse or assault, including:
  • Sexual assault or abuse during enlistment or recruitment medical assessments
  • Sexual abuse by military or medical staff
  • Sexual harassment escalating to abuse while in service
  • Abuse occurring on base, during training, deployment, or posting
  • Institutional failure to prevent, investigate, or respond appropriately
You do not need to have made a complaint already, and your service status does not prevent you from seeking legal advice.

How We Can Help

Independent Legal Advice

Clear, honest advice about your rights and available options, at your pace.

Claims Against the Military or Government

Advice and representation in civil claims involving abuse, negligence, mishandling of complaints, and psychiatric or long-term injury.

Support Through Complaints and Investigations

Guidance and representation through internal military processes, oversight bodies, and related civil or human rights claims.

Trauma-Informed Representation

Respectful communication, minimal re-telling of events, and survivor-led engagement at every stage.

Abuse at the Medical Assessment Stage

Sexual abuse during a military medical assessment is a serious breach of trust and power.

These incidents are often minimised or dismissed, but they are never acceptable.

We advise survivors where abuse occurred prior to enlistment, during physical or psychological examinations, or in settings presented as mandatory. Legal options may still be available even if the abuse occurred many years ago.

Confidentiality and Your Career

We understand concerns about confidentiality, career impact, discharge status, and fear of reprisal. Seeking advice from Venus Legal is confidential and does not automatically trigger a complaint or investigation.

Why Venus Legal

  • Specialist experience in sexual abuse and institutional accountability
  • Survivor-centred, trauma-informed practice
  • Clear, compassionate advice with no pressure to proceed
  • Discreet handling of highly sensitive matters
