Advise whether a mandatory notification about a practitioner must be made
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the incident reports, clinical records, complaints and the client's account, build a table setting each known fact against the four notifiable concerns (impairment, intoxication while practising, significant departure from accepted professional standards, sexual misconduct), noting who learned each fact and in what capacity, and list the facts still unknown. The tool writes no part of the advice or any notification.
- What the lawyer must review
- Decide which notifier group the client falls into and which threshold applies, whether the facts meet it, whether any exemption applies, and advise the client in writing; if a notification is required, the lawyer settles it.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. From the incident reports, clinical records, complaints and the client's account, build a table setting each known fact against the four notifiable concerns (impairment, intoxication while practising, significant departure from accepted professional standards, sexual misconduct), noting who learned each fact and in what capacity, and list the facts still unknown. The tool writes no part of the advice or any notification. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
- Confirm the capacity in which the client learned each fact, because the threshold differs for treating practitioners, non-treating practitioners, employers and education providers.
- Check every fact in the table against its source record.
- Confirm no sentence produced by the tool appears in the advice or the notification.
- Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.
