Where this comes from
The official form is published by sacat.sa.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-22.
When to use it
Use when applying to SACAT for disciplinary action against a building work contractor, supervisor or consultant. The page says to type building work in the online keyword field. This is not a home-owner defects claim in another tribunal. The tool does not write the conduct allegations.
Used for these tasks
- Check a residential building contract and the builder's licence against the statutory requirements
- Index expert reports in a building dispute
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may check the pack against the current form and list missing documents. The lawyer writes the complaint items, the defect descriptions and any conduct allegations, and checks every filing.
AI may
- Check the pack against the current official form and list missing documents named on the page
- Flag when a defects schedule, a review form or a disciplinary application is being used for the wrong dispute
- List the time limits and lodgement path stated on the page that was opened
AI must not
- Must not draft complaint items, defect descriptions, contract allegations or conduct allegations
- Must not draft pleadings, a scott schedule's item text, or a statement of claim
- Must not sign, file or serve the application
The lawyer checks
- The online application type is the building-work disciplinary application, confirmed on the current page
- The legislative provisions and the conduct are identified by the lawyer
- The page states a power to fine not exceeding $20,000. That is not stated as the filing fee
- The current South Australian generative-AI guideline is checked before any tool is used on the draft.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
