Work out whether another payment must be notified or assistance repaid
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From awards, settlements and insurer letters the lawyer marks, list each payment, who paid it, the date it was received, and whether that date is before the victims decision. Do not decide that a notice is due or that a repayment is owed.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether the payment is one the section or guideline covers.
- Settle any notice or repayment demand before it is sent.
- Do not treat money the State seeks from the offender as money the victim must repay.
- Use a firm-controlled tool for health records. ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) apply.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | From awards, settlements and insurer letters the lawyer marks, list each payment, who paid it, the date it was received, and whether that date is before the victims decision. Do not decide that a notice is due or that a repayment is owed. |
| Lawyer | Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output. |
Checklist
- Check the date received against the bank record or decision, and against the date of the victims decision.
- For Queensland, count 28 days from receipt and do not call a payment 'relevant' unless the lawyer has applied the definition.
- Do not enter a State recovery from the offender as a sum the victim must repay.
- The lawyer settles any notice before it is sent. The list is not the notice.
