## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer decides whether section 141A notice is required. The tool lists payments and dates.

- 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 scheme decision or an interim grant. Do not decide that a notice is due.
- What the lawyer does: Decide whether section 141A applies and settle any notice.
- 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. Section 141A applies if, before the application is decided under s 89 or interim assistance is granted under s 98, the applicant receives a relevant payment for the act of violence.
2. Notice to the scheme manager is written or oral, within 28 days after receiving the payment, unless there is a reasonable excuse. The maximum penalty is 100 penalty units.
3. The opened subsection does not define relevant payment. Do not invent the definition.
4. The guide's offender-debt recovery is the State asking a convicted offender to repay the State. It is not a demand that the victim repay, and it is not this notice.

## Notes

- Do not copy a repayment formula from another scheme onto this notice.
- Chapter 3 part 16, which the guide cites for offender-debt recovery, was not opened.
- Health and insurer records stay 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: Victims of Crime Assistance Act 2009 (Qld) s 141A

**Deliverable**: A payment list with dates. The lawyer decides whether notice is required.

**Inputs**

- Awards, settlements and insurer letters the lawyer marks
- The date of any interim grant or final decision
- Section 141A

**Example**: Illustrative example: A settlement is received after the scheme has already decided the application. The list records that the receipt is after the decision. It does not prepare a s 141A notice.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The date of receipt is unknown.
- The lawyer has not said whether the payment is a relevant payment.
