## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Personal Injury & Compensation (workers compensation, CTP/TAC, medical negligence)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | The tool lists the authorities the lawyer says the client must sign so the firm can collect treatment and wage records, and it notes that a Medicare recovery may arise. It does not complete a notice of judgment or settlement, and it does not release any payment. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer chooses the authorities. The client signs them. This list does not notify Medicare of a judgment or settlement. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). |
| Written for / versions | 3 jurisdiction versions below |

## Checking plan

**Check every instance**

The lawyer and the tool work together. The lawyer checks this output before it is used.

- What the AI does: The tool lists the authorities the lawyer says the client must sign so the firm can collect treatment and wage records, and it notes that a Medicare recovery may arise. It does not complete a notice of judgment or settlement, and it does not release any payment.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer chooses the authorities. The client signs them. This list does not notify Medicare of a judgment or settlement. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm each authority is one the lawyer selected, and that the client is the person who will sign it.
2. Confirm the list does not complete a Medicare notice of judgment or settlement.
3. In Queensland, keep the firm's authority separate from the authority inside s 37 or s 9.
4. Confirm treatment and wage records were not entered in a public AI tool.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
- Health and client information stays in a firm-controlled tool. A public tool is not used.
- Health Records Act 2001 (Vic) and the HRIP Act 2002 (NSW) were not opened.
