## Check this before you rely on it

Confirm the commencement date on the PDF. This site does not treat a folder date in the link as the legal date. Verify every authority in a source you can open.

## Steps

1. **Open the ART practice direction and its checklist.** The Tribunal publishes a generative AI practice direction. Read the direction and the checklist it points to before you upload a document or file a submission. Do not assume it copies GPN-AI. The court page on this site says the same thing and tells you to confirm the date on the PDF.
2. **Verify every authority.** Open the case and the statutory provision. A citation that does not support the sentence is removed. One generative tool does not verify another where the direction requires a person to check. If the direction’s disclosure rule applies to your document, follow that rule rather than a disclosure copied from another forum.

## Questions

**Is it allowed to use AI for ART merits review in Australia?**

Yes, if you follow the Tribunal’s generative AI practice direction and checklist. Read the PDF. Do not apply the Federal Court note in its place.

**What tools are used for ART merits review?**

This page does not approve a product. Keep the applicant’s personal information out of a public tool unless the direction allows that environment.

**Is the ART direction the same as GPN-AI?**

No. Open the Tribunal’s PDF and follow that document.
