## 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 | From the accident and injury papers, record the NIISQ gates on the agency pages and do not decide eligibility. Record whether the accident was in Queensland on or after 1 July 2016, whether the injury is one of the five types the page names, and which criterion on the eligibility page matches the type the lawyer names. Acceptance, if it happens, is interim for two years. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides eligibility against the Act, the Regulation and the criteria page. Copy only the criterion for the injury type the lawyer names. Interim participation is two years, then a lifetime review. Do not call it lifetime at the start. Use a firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11 and any notifiable breach. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The screen records the NIISQ gates. It does not accept or reject the injured person.

- What the AI does: From the accident and injury papers, record the NIISQ gates on the agency pages and do not decide eligibility. Record whether the accident was in Queensland on or after 1 July 2016, whether the injury is one of the five types the page names, and which criterion on the eligibility page matches the type the lawyer names. Acceptance, if it happens, is interim for two years.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- 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. Confirm a Queensland motor accident on or after 1 July 2016.
2. Match the injury to one named type only: spinal cord, brain, burns, amputation or blindness.
3. For that type, copy the criterion the eligibility page states, including a different test for a young child where the page gives one.
4. Record that the application needs the interim-participant form and a medical specialist's certificate.

## Notes

- Health, wage and benefit records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a disclosure is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
- The apply page says NIISQ funds necessary and reasonable treatment, care and support. A CTP insurer may apply for the injured person. The eligibility page sets out the functional measures, including FIM or WeeFIM where the injury type requires them.
- The Civil Liability Act table of provisions includes s 52B, titled as a restriction on damages for scheme participants. The section text was not opened. The lawyer reads it before care damages are claimed for a participant.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: National Injury Insurance Scheme, Queensland, for a motor accident in Queensland

**Deliverable**: A gate table for the lawyer's eligibility decision, not an application.

**Inputs**

- Accident date and place
- Injury diagnosis and imaging
- Age, where a child criterion may apply
- Any CTP claim already lodged

**Example**: Illustrative example: The papers describe a brain injury after a Queensland collision in 2024. The table records the date gate and points to the traumatic brain injury criteria. It does not say the person is eligible.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The accident was before 1 July 2016 or was not in Queensland.
- The injury type is not one of the five types on the page.
