| What the lawyer must review | Decide whether the decision is reviewable, and in which body. Count the time from receipt of the decision, and show the last day. Do not send a medical-treatment refusal to a review body the page says cannot hear it. Health and wage records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Apply ASCR r 9, APP 11, and the notifiable-breach test. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

The lawyer checks the output against the file and the linked sources before it is used or sent.

- What the AI does: From the decision letter and the date it was received, using a firm-controlled tool, name the review body and count the last day to lodge on the opened page. Do not write the review application.
- What the lawyer does: Decide whether the decision is reviewable, and in which body. Count the time from receipt of the decision, and show the last day. Do not send a medical-treatment refusal to a review body the page says cannot hear it. Health and wage records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Apply ASCR r 9, APP 11, and the notifiable-breach test.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in statutory workers compensation
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much the lawyer must check on every file.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Start the count from the date the decision was received, and record where that date comes from.
2. Check the decision is one the named body can review before a review is recommended.
3. In Queensland, do not send a refusal to fund a particular procedure to the Regulator as if it were a section 540 review.
4. In New South Wales, do not file in the Commission while a relevant-conduct question is still before the Industrial Relations Commission.

## Notes

- This note is the path and the date. It is not the submissions.
- The opened Victorian arbitration page states no separate day count for the referral. Do not add one.
- If health or wage records leave the firm-controlled tool, decide whether a Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) breach is notifiable.
