## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer writes the application and any document sent to the Commission. The outline is internal and does not argue the dispute.

- What the AI does: From the decision and the documents the lawyer selects, prepare an internal outline of the dispute, the date of the decision and the documents to attach. Do not write the application that is sent.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer makes the legal assessment, checks the source material and authorises 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. The Workplace Injury Commission page says conciliation is an essential step before arbitration or court. An Application for Conciliation is sent within 60 days of the agent's or self-insurer's decision. A late application can be considered if a reason is given. The lawyer supplies that reason.
2. The same page says a further conciliation of a dismissed dispute uses the Application for Further Conciliation after a Certificate of Dismissal.
3. The Workers Compensation Independent Review Service page says that service reviews certain reviewable decisions that conciliation has not resolved. No time limit for that review was opened. Do not add one.
4. Attach only documents the lawyer has selected. The outline does not say the decision was wrong.

## Notes

- No Workplace Injury Commission generative-AI practice note was found. If the dispute later goes to the County Court, the practice note of 9 June 2026 applies. If it goes to the Supreme Court, Practice Note SC GEN 25 applies. The lawyer writes anything that is filed.
- The Commission's service brochure on that page is dated 2026. The page itself was opened on 23 October 2026.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Victoria: a dispute about a WorkSafe or self-insurer decision, before the Workplace Injury Commission

**Deliverable**: An internal outline. The lawyer writes the application.

**Inputs**

- The decision and its date
- The documents the lawyer selects
- Whether a Certificate of Dismissal is already on the file

**Example**: Illustrative example: The decision is dated 70 days ago. The outline records the date and leaves the reason for lateness blank. The lawyer writes the reason and the application. The outline is not sent.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The outline is going to be attached to the application or sent to the Commission.
- There is no decision date, so the 60 days cannot be counted.

Checked 2026-10-23.
