## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Victims of Crime Support & Compensation](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| 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. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to the linked source and check for material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: 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 does: 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.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check each relationship against the birth, marriage or dependency document named in the row.
2. Use the amount printed for that relationship on the current page, including an 'up to' cap.
3. Do not put a funeral invoice into this table. Funeral assistance is a separate request.
4. For a related-victim time limit, use the applicant's age and the violence type on the scheme page.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
