When to use it
Use when an employer is asked for the letter that AusCheck says must accompany a discretionary ASIC application.
Used for these tasks
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
The tool drafts the letter from employment facts the lawyer supplies, and the employer checks it before it is signed and lodged.
AI may
- State the start date, role, duties, operational need and secure areas the employer confirms.
- Leave a separate optional paragraph for a character reference, because the page treats that reference as something the applicant may also provide.
- Date the letter in the current year if it is also to be used as a conduct reference.
AI must not
- Do not say the applicant does not pose a risk to aviation security, unless the employer adopts that sentence.
- Do not describe the convictions unless the employer chooses to acknowledge them.
- Do not put the letter in the form of a statutory declaration.
The lawyer checks
- The page requires company letterhead, confirmation of employment including start date, job role and duties, the operational need to hold a card to access secure areas, and the secure areas to be accessed.
- Acknowledgement of convictions is preferred for a conduct reference and is not described as a requirement.
- The person who signs must know the facts. This starting point does not choose the signatory.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
