## Checking plan

**Queensland care, no hours test**

The tool rows the care. The opened Part 10 states no six-hour or six-month threshold. Domestic services in section 67 are not that test.

- What the AI does: In a firm-controlled tool, row the care the deceased gave and the document for each row. Do not apply a six-hour or six-month threshold, because the opened Part 10 states none.
- 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. Row hours only as facts, not as a statutory test.
2. For a spouse, section 67 includes material benefits having a monetary value, with domestic services as an example.
3. Do not import an hours threshold from another statute.
4. Do not value the care until you accept the head.

## Notes

- The opened Part 10 does not state a six-hour or six-month threshold. Section 67 defines financial benefits for a spouse to include monetary benefits and other material benefits having a monetary value, and gives domestic services as an example. That definition is not a threshold. The six-hour rule in the Victorian section is not applied.
- Family, wage and medical records stay in a firm-controlled tool. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply. A breach may be notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Queensland: loss of care in a Part 10 Civil Proceedings Act 2011 proceeding

**Deliverable**: A care table with no statutory hours finding, because the opened Part states none.

**Inputs**

- Care records selected by the lawyer
- The family member's relationship
- Section 67

**Example**: Illustrative example: The records show four hours of domestic services a week. The tool rows the hours and writes that Part 10 states no six-hour test. The lawyer decides whether the services are a financial benefit.

**Stop and escalate when**

- A six-hour threshold is applied.
- The care is valued before the head is accepted.
