| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Build the employment table the Dust Diseases Care application asks for: each employer, months, Australian state, employment type, job, whether exposure occurred and the dust type, each row sourced. |
| What the lawyer must review | Check every employer, month and state against a record. Mark exposure in New South Wales only where a record shows it. Remove a row that rests only on the client's account. Keep the reports in the firm tool under ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Dust Diseases Care asks for a full employment history by state and dust, and SIRA requires New South Wales employment exposure.

- What the AI does: Build the employment table the Dust Diseases Care application asks for: each employer, months, Australian state, employment type, job, whether exposure occurred and the dust type, each row sourced.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks the table and decides which employments can support eligibility.
- 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. The application asks for employer name, start and stop month and year, Australian state, employment type, job title, whether dust exposure occurred and the dust type.
2. SIRA eligibility requires evidence that the exposure occurred while employed in New South Wales.
3. The industrial history information sheet linked from the application is dated April 2018. Confirm it is still the sheet in use.
4. A solicitor must hold the Authority to Release Employment Records before submitting. The tool does not complete that authority.

## Notes

- Do not upload scans or x-rays with this history. Reports may be uploaded.
- This is the application history, not the file chronology.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Dust Diseases Care application

**Deliverable**: An employment and exposure table in the fields the application page lists.

**Inputs**

- Employment records
- Dust type
- State of each workplace

**Example**: Illustrative example: One employer was in New South Wales and two were elsewhere. The tool records the state on each row. The lawyer uses only the New South Wales rows for the SIRA eligibility point.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The state of a workplace is missing.
- A row has no document.
