The Law Society of New South Wales court-protocol table, current as at 14 May 2026, did not list a generative-AI practice note for Tasmania. That is an absence in a national index, not a finding that the Supreme Court of Tasmania has nothing to say. Open the Court’s site and the Tasmanian legislation register before you file, and do not apply another state’s note as if it bound this Court.
This is the check recorded on this site. A page that could not be opened is not proof that no document exists. Open the court’s own site before you file.

Do not apply SC Gen 23, SC Gen 25 or another state’s note as the rule of the Supreme Court of Tasmania. Check the Court’s site and the Tasmanian legislation register. The Magistrates Court and TASCAT may differ from the Supreme Court.

Legal Profession Board of Tasmania update (published by the Law Society of Tasmania, May 2025) setting out the Board's regulatory view of GenAI risks and expectations for practitioners.
Practitioners remain responsible for legal services whether or not GenAI is used; all professional duties still apply
Risks include unreliable or wrong outputs (hallucinations), bias, confidentiality and privacy
Comply with court and regulator guidelines and professional rules; review all GenAI outputs for accuracy
Establish, maintain and regularly review documented workplace policies and internal controls

Federal Court GPN-AI effective 16 April 2026 imposes a personal verification obligation
NSW SC Gen 23 (as amended, from 3 February 2025) bars Gen AI generating affidavit, witness statement or character reference content
Victoria's SC Gen 25, effective 14 May 2026, is a binding practice note replacing 2024 guidelines

Personal Information Protection Act 2004 (Tas). FOI: Right to Information Act 2009 (Tas). Covers Tasmanian public bodies. No Tasmania-specific AI privacy guidance found. Checked 2026-10-10.
Search the Supreme Court of Tasmania site for practice directions on the day you prepare the document. Record what you found, including that you found no AI direction, if that is the result.
Do not borrow another state’s note
A New South Wales, Victorian, Queensland or Western Australian practice note is not the rule of this court unless this court has adopted it. The professional duties of competence, confidentiality and honesty to the court apply anyway.
Verify and keep evidence human
Until you find a local direction that says otherwise, verify every citation in a trusted source, keep affidavits in the witness’s words, and keep confidential material out of public tools.
Jurisdiction
The Magistrates Court and TASCAT may differ from the Supreme Court. Check the forum named on the file. No AI direction found as of 10 Oct 2026. No Tasmanian court AI direction found; Law Society of Tasmania article (https://lst.org.au/the-question-isnt-whether-you-used-ai-its-how-you-used-it/) discusses federal/NSW/Vic notes only.
What to open first
Search the Supreme Court site first. Write down the date you searched and what you did or did not find.
Review checklist
Search the Supreme Court of Tasmania site for a current practice direction on generative AI and record the result.
Do not apply SC Gen 23, SC Gen 25 or another state’s note as the rule of this Court.
Verify legislation on the Tasmanian legislation register and cases in a trusted source.
Keep affidavits in the witness’s words and confidential material out of public tools.
Apply the conduct rules that attach to your Tasmanian practising certificate.
Jurisdiction-specific considerations
A national index can lag a new direction. Search the Court, do not stop at the index.
Tasmanian Acts are on the Tasmanian register. A similarly named mainland Act is a different statute.
Silence is not permission to file unverified citations.
Limits on AI assistance
Do not file, send or rely on generated text until the responsible lawyer has checked it against the instructions and the current source.
Do not put suppressed, privileged, subpoenaed or safety-sensitive information into a public AI tool.
