## 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 | 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). |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to the linked source and check for material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: 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 does: 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. Identity documents and reports stay in the firm tool. ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) apply.
- 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. Check each field against the record named beside it.
2. Confirm the declaration box is empty in the tool output.
3. Confirm no scan or x-ray is listed for upload on a New South Wales application.
4. Confirm a Victorian proclaimed-disease statement is tied to the WorkSafe page, with the instrument marked as not opened.

## 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.
- The declaration on the Dust Diseases Care page is completed by the person who submits. The tool writes nothing in it.
