MaintainedLast reviewed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the file, record the date of the application, the body named on it, and whether it was withdrawn. Do not look for a handover date unless the documents themselves name an earlier tribunal.
- What the lawyer must review
- Do not use 18 November 2024 unless the documents name that date
- Record recognition payments on the opened pages as dealt with by Victims Services.
- Take a later challenge to a recognition payment, after internal review, to NCAT.
- Use a firm-controlled tool for health records. ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) apply.

Checklist
- The opened Victims Support Scheme pages do not describe an earlier tribunal handing files to a new scheme.
- Recognition payments and the other support on those pages are dealt with by Victims Services, in the Department of Communities and Justice.
- Legal Aid NSW says an application can be withdrawn at any time before Victims Services decides, and that a new application for the same offence can be made later. That is not a handover between bodies.
- A challenge to a recognition payment, after internal review, is to NCAT. It is not a transfer of the whole file.
