## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The cap is copied from the guide beside a label the lawyer has already marked.

- What the AI does: Take the relationship label the lawyer has already marked and write the cap printed for that payment, including the words up to. Do not choose the label and do not say the cap will be paid.
- What the lawyer does: Confirm the label was marked and that the copied cap matches the current guide.
- 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. For a related victim, copy distress up to $15,000, dependency up to $20,000 depending on the dependency, and a funeral payment up to $15,000, but only for the payment type the lawyer has marked.
2. Write the words up to. The guide does not print a flat amount.
3. Recovery expenses are a separate list: counselling, medical, travel, a report and other recovery expenses. Do not copy them as if they were the distress cap.
4. The guide was last updated on 4 August 2026. If the page has changed, stop and use the current figures.

## Notes

- This is a lookup after the label is marked. It is not a decision that the person is a related victim. Section 141A is a notice duty, not the cap.
- If the label is not one the guide prints, stop and return the row.
- Keep any health record behind the label in a firm-controlled tool. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply, and a breach may be notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Victim Assist Queensland published caps

**Deliverable**: The published cap, including the words up to, beside the label the lawyer has marked.

**Inputs**

- The payment type already marked
- Current Queensland guide

**Example**: Illustrative example: The lawyer has marked related-victim distress. The row shows up to $15,000. It does not show $15,000 as a sum that will be paid.

**Stop and escalate when**

- No label has been marked.
- The label is a primary-victim category, which has its own band of $3,000 to $15,000.
