| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| 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. |

## 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 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 does: The lawyer decides whether the payment is one the section or guideline covers. A notice or repayment demand is settled by the lawyer 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 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 the date received against the bank record or decision, and against the date of the victims decision.
2. For Queensland, count 28 days from receipt and do not call a payment 'relevant' unless the lawyer has applied the definition.
3. Do not enter a State recovery from the offender as a sum the victim must repay.
4. The lawyer settles any notice before it is sent. The list is not the notice.

## 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.
