- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the relationships and, for a latent disease, the exposure history, using a firm-controlled tool, table a lump sum, quarterly payments and funeral help, and mark that the page states no amounts. Do not open section 27.
- What the lawyer must review
- Decide who may claim on the page's words, then confirm section 27.
- Do not state a dollar figure. Do not copy the 2023 table's QOTE multiples.
- For a latent disease, the question is whether the person was a worker when exposed.
- Health and wage records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Apply ASCR r 9, APP 11, and the notifiable-breach test.

The work product
Forum. Queensland, WorkSafe page on a death at work
Produce. A claimant note with the benefit types and no figures.
Have ready. Relationship or dependency of each person; Insurer: WorkCover Queensland or a self-insurer; For a latent disease, exposure dates and work records.
Example of the limit. Illustrative example: A de facto partner claims after a death from mesothelioma. The note records the partner as a person the page allows to claim, lists the exposure years, and says the page offers a lump sum, quarterly payments or funeral help without stating the figures. The lawyer confirms section 27 and the current amounts.
Stop and hand it back when
- A figure or a QOTE multiple would be copied from the 2023 table.
- Section 27 would be paraphrased without being opened.
