| Practice area | [Anti-Discrimination & Industrial Relations](https://ailawframework.com/practice/anti-discrimination-and-industrial-relations.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the employers' details, pay data and industry information, build a table of the matters the Commission considers for each employer, including prevailing pay and conditions, common interests such as location, the nature of the enterprises and public funding, the likely number of bargaining representatives, and union representation, with the evidence for each. |
| What the lawyer must review | Decide whether the authorisation is likely to be appropriate for these employers or whether a Ministerial declaration covers the employees, settle the application or the employer's objection, and advise on what the stream means for bargaining orders, workplace determinations and protected action. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the employers' details, pay data and industry information, build a table of the matters the Commission considers for each employer, including prevailing pay and conditions, common interests such as location, the nature of the enterprises and public funding, the likely number of bargaining representatives, and union representation, with the evidence for each.
- What the lawyer does: Decide whether the authorisation is likely to be appropriate for these employers or whether a Ministerial declaration covers the employees, settle the application or the employer's objection, and advise on what the stream means for bargaining orders, workplace determinations and protected action.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Check each employer's inclusion against the common-interest evidence in the table.
3. Confirm whether a Ministerial declaration covers the industry, occupation or sector.
4. Confirm none of the work is building and construction work excluded from the stream.
5. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
