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

Yellow. A tool may compare a working note with the current official form and list what is missing. The lawyer downloads the form, completes it and lodges it.

AI may

  • List the facts and documents the official page says to have ready.
  • Compare a working checklist with the current downloaded form and mark gaps.
  • Prepare a filing note that quotes only what the official page says.

AI must not

  • Do not copy the official form into a new document or file a retyped version.
  • Do not invent a form number, fee, time limit or rule that is not on the official page.
  • Do not draft, settle or sign an affidavit or other sworn evidence.
  • Do not lodge the form or tell the client it has been filed.

The lawyer checks

  • The form page lists $65 for 410A, 410B and 410C.
  • Information Sheet 30 also lists $65 from 1 July 2026 to reserve a name or extend a reservation, Schedule 2 item 8.
  • Lodge in the company officeholder or registered agent portal, or post the form with payment.
  • A reservation is not the registration. Form 201 or Form 205 still has to be lodged.

Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
