Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Do not begin AI assistance until the responsible lawyer has defined and confirmed its permitted scope. |
| Lawyer | Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output. |
Checklist
- Copy $20,000 for a spouse or domestic partner, a child or step-child, a parent, guardian or step-parent, or a sibling or step-sibling.
- Copy $6,500 for an intimate personal relationship, any other close family member, or a non-child financial dependant.
- The guideline says further amounts are possible and that character may affect the payment. The row records that sentence. It does not apply it.
- Do not take a time limit from guideline 3.1 into this row. That page does not set the figure.

This is a lookup after the label is marked. It is not a decision that the person is a related victim.
If the label is not one of the printed labels, stop and return the row to the lawyer.
Keep any health record that sits 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).
