## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer asks for the assessment. The tool lists the gaps and does not price the offer.

- What the AI does: From the injury dates, the body systems and any earlier assessment the lawyer marks, using a firm-controlled tool, list what is still missing for an assessment. Do not calculate a dollar amount and do not choose which impairments to claim.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- 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. List only injuries the lawyer has marked.
2. Record that a psychiatric assessment is for the tribunal.
3. Leave the offer amount and the damages choice blank.

## Notes

- Health, wage and scheme records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a disclosure is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
- The WorkSafe and WorkCover pages say a worker can ask to be assessed for permanent impairment, and the insurer may also refer the worker. The degree can be from 0 per cent to 100 per cent. A psychiatric or psychological permanent impairment is assessed only by the Medical Assessment Tribunal. The notice of assessment sets out the assessment, any lump-sum offer and the options. The dollar ranges are in the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Regulation 2025, which was not opened, so no amount is entered.
- The pages do not state a rule for adding a physical score to a psychological score, and they do not state a one-assessment rule. Neither is applied here. The choice between the offer and damages is a later question.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Permanent impairment lump sums in Queensland workers' compensation

**Deliverable**: A missing-document list for an assessment. No dollar amount and no election.

**Inputs**

- The injuries the lawyer marks
- Any earlier assessment
- Whether a psychiatric injury is included

**Example**: Illustrative example: The lawyer marks a shoulder injury and a psychological injury. The list asks for the shoulder reports and records that the psychological assessment is for the tribunal. No offer figure is entered.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The lawyer has not marked the injuries.
- A dollar amount or an election is requested.
