Map a family claim after a homicide onto the published assistance amounts
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the death record and the relationship documents the lawyer marks, list each family applicant, the relationship the document states, and the amount band printed for that relationship. Do not choose the relationship and do not write the application.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides who is a family or related victim and which published band applies.
- Check each relationship against a document, not a description given in conference.
- Character findings can change a payment. Do not treat the band as the amount that will be paid.
- Use a firm-controlled tool for health records. ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) apply.
