Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the dates the lawyer supplies, draft an internal diary for the Victorian time limits the lawyer has selected. The tool does not send correspondence or decide that a late step is still available.
- What the lawyer must review
- Confirm which limit applies: TAC section 68, a 60-day conciliation, or a 30-day approval summons.
- A child, a late manifestation or a dust-related condition can change the date. Check that before the diary is used.
- Keep medical and wage records in a firm-controlled tool. Apply ASCR r 9 and APP 11.

Checklist
- For a Part 3 transport-accident claim, diary one year after the accident, death, or first manifestation under section 68(1). Under section 68(2) the Commission may accept a later claim if it considers there are reasonable grounds for the delay, and only before three years. Under section 68(3) a person who was under 18, and for whom no claim was made, may claim before age 21 or within 3 years after the accident, whichever is later.
- For a WorkSafe agent or self-insurer decision, diary 60 days for a Workplace Injury Commission conciliation, and record that a late application needs a reason.
- For a Supreme Court compromise by a person under disability, diary 30 days for the rule 15.08 summons.
- Do not put health information into a public tool. SC Gen 25 says confidential or sensitive information should not be entered into a public AI tool.
