Advise a member on a notice proposing an early end of service
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the notice and its attachments, extract the stated reason, the facts and circumstances set out, the date the notice was given, and the period allowed for a written response. List which of the reasons in section 23(1) of the Defence Regulations 2026 the notice relies on, and whether the notice contains each item section 32(2) requires. Do not draft the member's response.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether section 23 applies, whether an exception in section 23(4) is relied on, whether the reason is made out (including section 5(2) where the reason is the interests of the Defence Force, and section 24 where the reason is sexual violence), and writes the advice and any written response.

| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. From the notice and its attachments, extract the stated reason, the facts and circumstances set out, the date the notice was given, and the period allowed for a written response. List which of the reasons in section 23(1) of the Defence Regulations 2026 the notice relies on, and whether the notice contains each item section 32(2) requires. Do not draft the member's response.

Checklist
- Check the extracted reason and dates against the notice, including the date it was given.
- Confirm whether section 23(4) is said to remove the notice requirement, and that the common-law note in that subsection has been considered.
- If sexual violence is a reason, confirm the notice states that reason, as section 23(3) requires, and that section 24 has been read.
- Confirm the response invites any relevant mental health evidence, which section 32(2)(d) says the notice must invite.
- Confirm no classified or restricted material was put into the tool.
