Terms & conditions.

These terms govern your use of threshold.rehab and the demo application hosted on it. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

Last updated 27 April 2026 · Threshold Rehab · Melbourne, Victoria

1. About Threshold

Threshold is a coordination concept for people moving through alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment — court-ordered or voluntary — operated by Threshold Rehab (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia). The website at threshold.rehab presents an interactive prototype of how four perspectives — judicial officer, case worker, rehab intake, and family member — could share one consent-governed record.

The source for the prototype is published openly on GitHub. Operating it as a real clinical service would require additional accreditation, hosting, identity, and legal authority that the demo does not have.

2. Who can use the demo

The demo is open to anyone evaluating the concept — including clinicians, court staff, corrections staff, families with lived experience, researchers, funders, and the general public. Selecting a role on the home page does not assert that you hold that role in real life.

You must be 18 or older to use the demo, and you must not use it on behalf of a real person without their explicit informed consent.

3. No real client data

This is the most important rule. The demo is not a clinical record system, is not hosted in an IRAP-assessed environment, and is not covered by an inter-agency MOU or a Privacy Impact Assessment. Therefore:

Do not enter

real names, dates of birth, addresses, court orders, CCO conditions, treatment notes, drug screen results, mental health information, or any other identifying or health information about any real person.

Sample data only

Use the seeded sample clients and your own throwaway test text. Submitted text may be cleared during routine resets.

Your responsibility

If you enter real personal information into the demo despite this term, you are solely responsible. We will treat it as inadvertent test data and remove it on request.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Reverse engineer security

attempt to bypass authentication, cookie signing, role boundaries, or audit logging in a way intended to harm the system or any other user.

Automate abusively

scrape, mass-crawl, denial-of-service, or otherwise overload the demo. Read the public source on GitHub if you want the data model.

Misrepresent

present screenshots or session output of the demo as a live clinical record, court order, or government service.

Embed without context

embed or redistribute the demo in a way that hides the "concept · not a live system" disclosures shown in the UI.

5. Intellectual property & open source

The Threshold name, the wordmark Threshold., the brand, and the editorial design system on this site belong to Threshold Rehab. The application source code is published openly on GitHub and licensed under the terms stated in that repository — see the repository for the licence in force.

You may use the open-source code under its licence. The brand and the site copy are not licensed for reuse without written permission.

6. Disclaimer & limitation of liability

The demo is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of fitness for any clinical, legal, or government purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law:

No clinical reliance

Threshold Rehab is not liable for any decision made about a real person on the basis of the demo.

No availability guarantee

The demo may be unavailable, reset, or withdrawn at any time without notice.

Indirect loss

We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or special loss arising from your use of the demo.

Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these terms limits any non-excludable rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.

7. Changes & governing law

We may update these terms as the project moves from concept to pilot to production. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Any dispute that cannot be resolved by direct discussion is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
