## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [NDIS & Disability Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/ndis-and-disability-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the treating and assessment reports the lawyer has selected, extract each statement about impairment, permanence, functional capacity and the support sought into a table set against the access requirements or against each s 34 criterion for the disputed support, citing report and page, and list the criteria with no evidence against them. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer reads each report against the table, decides whether the evidence actually meets each criterion, identifies what further report is needed and from whom, and rejects any entry the tool has paraphrased beyond what the author said. |

## 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 treating and assessment reports the lawyer has selected, extract each statement about impairment, permanence, functional capacity and the support sought into a table set against the access requirements or against each s 34 criterion for the disputed support, citing report and page, and list the criteria with no evidence against them.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer reads each report against the table, decides whether the evidence actually meets each criterion, identifies what further report is needed and from whom, and rejects any entry the tool has paraphrased beyond what the author said.
- 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. Check each extracted statement against the page cited and remove any that summarise rather than quote the author's finding.
2. Confirm the table applies the criteria as they stood when the decision was made, including the s 34 link between supports and impairments in force since 3 October 2024.
3. Check whether the participant received a notice of impairment and that the table works from the impairments it lists.
4. Confirm the gaps list names a qualified author for each missing piece of evidence and does not suggest what the author should conclude.

## 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.
