## 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 | Working with the lawyer from the behaviour support plan, the authorisation record and the provider's monthly reports, list each regulated restrictive practice in the plan, whether it is authorised under the local scheme, its expiry, and whether its use has been reported, and flag gaps. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether each practice is authorised under the law of the State or Territory where it is used, whether any use was unauthorised and is a reportable incident, and what the provider must do now. |

## 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: Working with the lawyer from the behaviour support plan, the authorisation record and the provider's monthly reports, list each regulated restrictive practice in the plan, whether it is authorised under the local scheme, its expiry, and whether its use has been reported, and flag gaps.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether each practice is authorised under the law of the State or Territory where it is used, whether any use was unauthorised and is a reportable incident, and what the provider must do now.
- 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 practice in the plan against the authorisation record for the same person, provider, practice and period.
2. Check that every use reported in the monthly reports falls inside an authorisation, and treat any use outside one as unauthorised.
3. Confirm the plan has been lodged in the correct Commission portal for its lodgement date.
4. Where a use was unauthorised, confirm whether it caused harm, because that decides whether the notification is due in 24 hours or 5 business days.

## 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.
