Do not treat a final medical assessment as open to a rehearing on the merits.
Health and wage records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Apply ASCR r 9, APP 11, and the notifiable-breach test.

Role	What they do
Assistance	From the assessment notice and the reports it cites, using a firm-controlled tool, list each percentage, the date the notice was received, and the last day to dispute it on the opened page. Do not draft the dispute.
Lawyer	Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output.

Take the receipt date from the file, not from the date printed on the notice, where they differ.
Check each percentage in the notice against the report it cites before treating a discrepancy as a ground.
Do not draft a rehearing where the opened page says the decision is final.
In New South Wales, diarise 28 days from the certificate, not from the examination.
