Prepare a statutory dust-disease application from the employment and medical material
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- In a firm-controlled tool, assemble the employment, exposure and medical fields the opened application describes, each with a source. The tool does not tick the declaration box and does not write anything in it.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer checks every field against the record before the application is sent.
- The person who submits ticks the declaration. The tool writes nothing in that box.
- Keep identity documents and reports in the firm tool.
- Apply ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
