| 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 | Assemble the exposure, diagnosis, doctor, dependant and employment fields the application page lists, each with a source. Do not tick the declaration box. |
| What the lawyer must review | Check every field against the record before the application is sent. The person who submits ticks the declaration. The tool writes nothing in that box. A solicitor uploads proof of identity and both authorities before submitting. Keep the reports in the firm tool under ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Dust Diseases Care takes the application online or by phone, and a solicitor cannot submit until identity and the two authorities are uploaded.

- What the AI does: Assemble the exposure, diagnosis, doctor, dependant and employment fields the application page lists, each with a source. Do not tick the declaration box.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks every field and leaves the declaration to the person who submits.
- 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. Fields include the dust and the circumstances of exposure, work status, month and year of diagnosis, most recent CT and spirometry, general practitioner and respiratory physician, dependants, authorised persons, and the full employment history by state and dust type.
2. Upload reports and radiology reports. Do not upload scans or x-rays. Files over 10MB are not accepted on the page.
3. A solicitor needs a solicitor account and must upload proof of identity and the Authority to Release Medical Records and the Authority to Release Employment Records before submitting.
4. SIRA eligibility remains a covered diagnosis, exposure while employed in New South Wales, and death or disability reasonably attributable to inhalation of dust. Dust Diseases Care can be contacted on 1800 550 027.

## Notes

- The page shows a declaration box for agreement to submission. The tool writes nothing in it.
- No separate attestation document was seen on the page.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Dust Diseases Care

**Deliverable**: A field set for the Dust Diseases Care application, with the declaration left blank.

**Inputs**

- Identity documents
- Medical reports
- Employment history
- Authority forms

**Example**: Illustrative example: The solicitor has the reports but not the signed authorities. The tool assembles the employment and diagnosis fields and leaves the declaration blank. It does not mark the application as ready to submit.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The declaration box is filled by the tool.
- Scans or x-rays are listed for upload.
- Identity or an authority is missing and the output still says submit.
