MaintainedLast reviewed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the role and the injury, using a firm-controlled tool, record that the opened SIRA page states no post-traumatic stress presumption, and table the ordinary primary-psychological test. Do not decide the claim.
- What the lawyer must review
- Do not advise that New South Wales presumes the injury is work-related.
- Do not treat an exemption from later amendments as that presumption.
- Decide the ordinary primary-psychological test for this worker.
- Health and wage records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Apply ASCR r 9, APP 11, and the notifiable-breach test.

If this is lodged with the Personal Injury Commission, Procedural Direction PIC13 keeps health records in a controlled environment and forbids a generative tool from writing a person's evidence.
The page says its content may change as reforms are implemented.
If health or wage records leave the firm-controlled tool, decide whether a Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) breach is notifiable.
