| How AI is used | From the payment, the plan and the scheme the lawyer names, list whether the file shows a lump sum, a series of payments, or one of the New South Wales statutory schemes on the NDIA page, and the recoverable-amount facts that page states. Do not calculate a reduction. |
| What the lawyer must review | Decide whether the payment is compensation and whether the scheme is one the NDIA page lists for New South Wales. Check who is repaid, the payer or the participant, from when the NDIA was told. Do not calculate a recoverable amount or a compensation reduction amount. Keep medical details in the firm's system. Apply ASCR rule 9, APP 11, and the Privacy Act notifiable-breach test. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer matches the New South Wales payment to the NDIA compensation and statutory-scheme pages, and does not calculate the reduction.

- What the AI does: From the payment, the plan and the scheme the lawyer names, list whether the file shows a lump sum, a series of payments, or one of the New South Wales statutory schemes on the NDIA page, and the recoverable-amount facts that page states. Do not calculate a reduction.
- What the lawyer does: Decide what counts as compensation, who must repay, and whether a compensation reduction amount should be disputed.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. The compensation page describes a lump sum, a series of payments, or ongoing supports from a government insurance scheme. It calls those schemes statutory schemes.
2. For New South Wales, the statutory-scheme page lists the SIRA workers compensation scheme, the SIRA compulsory third party scheme, icare Workers Care, icare CTP Care, and icare Lifetime Care and Supports Scheme.
3. A recoverable amount is not more than the supports funded for the injury, from the later of first NDIS use and the injury until the day before the claim was finalised. Recovery is from the payer if the NDIA was told before finalisation, and from the participant if told after the participant was paid.
4. A compensation reduction amount is a separate adjustment of plan funding. The calculator is an estimate. The page says the NDIA cannot replace supports the statutory scheme already gives, and that a scheme appeal comes before a request for similar NDIS supports.

## Notes

- The compensation page, opened on 23 October 2026, says the NDIA is updating pages for new NDIS legislation and that some information may change. The statutory-scheme page spells the lifetime scheme as Lifetime Care and Supports Scheme. No compensation rule in the Act was opened, so no divisor or percentage is stated.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: NDIA compensation pages, applied to a New South Wales statutory scheme or compensation payment

**Deliverable**: A map of the payment or scheme, the notice facts, and the recoverable-amount inputs. No calculated reduction.

**Inputs**

- Judgment, settlement or scheme approval
- Plan and dates of injury and first NDIS use
- Whether the NDIA was told before the claim was finalised

**Example**: Illustrative example: The participant has icare Lifetime Care and Supports Scheme supports and later receives damages. The tool lists the scheme from the New South Wales list and the recoverable-amount dates. It does not calculate a compensation reduction amount.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The page's update notice is unresolved and the lawyer has not checked the current rule.
- The tool is asked to state a dollar reduction.
