## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line, paragraph or clause; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: From the client’s NDIS plan, the supports funded since the injury and the proposed settlement, list the supports that relate to the compensable injury, the period and amounts, and the heads of damages in the settlement that may cover the same needs, and draft the notification to the agency from the approved template.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides how the compensation operational guideline applies to the client’s plan and settlement, advises the client on the effect of the settlement on future NDIS supports and any amount the agency may seek, and settles the notification and the settlement advice.
- 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 support listed against the plan and the injury it relates to.
2. Confirm the settlement heads of damages are identified before comparing them with supports.
3. Check the guideline version on the agency’s site on the day of advice.

## 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.
