Answer a notice that a work injury damages claim is not compliant
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- In the firm-controlled tool, from the insurer's noncompliance or defect notice, list each defect it states, the response time the statute gives, and the covering list of what the lawyer will correct. Do not rewrite the claim.
- What the lawyer must review
- Decide which defects are real, and what is sent to remedy them.
- Any declaration in the notice is written by the lawyer. The tool writes none of it.
- Keep medical and wage records in the firm-controlled tool only.
- Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a Privacy Act breach is notifiable.

If the matter is filed, read that court's current generative AI practice note first. Supreme Court of Victoria practice note SC GEN 25 commenced on 14 May 2026. The County Court of Victoria has issued a practice note for court users on artificial intelligence. Queensland Courts name Supreme Court Practice Direction 5 of 2025 and District Court Practice Direction 12 of 2025, both on the accuracy of references in submissions. The page also names Planning and Environment Court Practice Direction 7 of 2025, Land Court Practice Direction 4 of 2025, and Supreme Court Practice Direction 14 of 2024 subparagraph 16(l), which is about expert evidence in criminal proceedings. The direction PDFs were not opened. Supreme Court of New South Wales Practice Note SC Gen 23 was amended on 28 January 2025, with the stated amendments in effect from 3 February 2025. Damages trials are commonly in the District Court: check that court's note as well. For a Commission mediation, check the Commission's current generative AI direction before lodging.
Medical and wage records stay in the firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
