## 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 | From the scheme file, build a dated chronology and an issues list for a Transport Accident Commission decision or a WorkSafe agent or self-insurer decision. The tool does not complete the application form or write the submission. |
| What the lawyer must review | Confirm whether the dispute is a TAC claim decision or a WorkSafe or self-insurer decision. Use the TAC 21-day response, or the 60-day conciliation guide, only for the decision that was actually received. The lawyer writes anything lodged. Keep medical records in a firm-controlled tool and apply ASCR r 9 and APP 11. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer matches the chronology to the decision under review and writes anything that is lodged.

- What the AI does: From the scheme file, build a dated chronology and an issues list for a Transport Accident Commission decision or a WorkSafe agent or self-insurer decision. The tool does not complete the application form or write the submission.
- What the lawyer does: Decide the forum, the time limit and what is lodged, and approve the chronology against the file.
- 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. For a TAC claim, use the policy that the TAC decides within 21 days. A denial can be reviewed in VCAT. A failure to decide can be reviewed in VCAT only if the TAC has not requested further information. Do not invent a VCAT filing time.
2. For a WorkSafe agent or self-insurer decision, use the Workplace Injury Commission guide to send the Application for Conciliation within 60 days, and record any reason if it is late.
3. Attach the decision, treatment request, certificates or invoices only where the Commission page says that document starts the dispute.
4. If the matter later becomes a court document, check the Supreme Court practice note SC Gen 25 before any generated text is filed. The County Court note was not opened.

## Notes

- The tool does not complete the conciliation form. If that form contains a statutory declaration, the lawyer writes that part.
- SC Gen 25, issued on 14 May 2026, applies to Supreme Court users. It was not opened as a Workplace Injury Commission rule.
- Keep health, wage and scheme records in a firm-controlled tool. Apply ASCR r 9 and APP 11, and consider whether any breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Transport Accident Commission review, including VCAT where the TAC policy allows it, or Workplace Injury Commission conciliation

**Deliverable**: A chronology and issues list for the lawyer to use in the review or conciliation. Not the lodged form.

**Inputs**

- The decision, or the unanswered request, and its date
- Claim records, certificates and invoices selected by the lawyer
- The current TAC response policy or Workplace Injury Commission conciliation page

**Example**: Illustrative example: A WorkSafe agent decision is dated 40 days ago. The draft lists the weekly-payment issue and the certificates. The lawyer decides whether the 60-day guide still allows a conciliation application and writes the form.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The decision date or the decision-maker cannot be identified.
- The draft starts to complete a form or a submission that will be lodged.
