## When to use it

Use when applying to NTCAT to vary, revoke or reassess an existing guardianship order, or to review a decision, on Form AG5. Do not use Form AG1 for that application. Do not use Form AG5 to register an interstate order. That is Form AG6.

## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare a guardianship or administration tribunal application pack](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship/prepare-a-guardianship-or-administration-tribunal-application-pack.md)
- [Prepare a tribunal-hearing bundle and a one-page issues list](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship/prepare-a-tribunal-hearing-bundle-and-a-one-page-issues-list.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check the pack against the current form and list missing documents. The lawyer writes any account of capacity, health or views, and checks every filing.

**AI may:**

- Check the pack against the current official form and list missing parts named on the page
- Flag when a guardianship form, an enduring instrument or a health report is being used for the wrong application
- List the lodgement path and the contact details stated on the page that was opened

**AI must not:**

- Must not describe disability, capacity or the person's views in words the lawyer and applicant have not confirmed
- Must not draft a health report, a statutory declaration or a suitability declaration
- Must not sign, file or serve the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- The current form is the one prescribed for this application
- Medical and capacity evidence is in the words of the practitioner who wrote it
- Any fee, who may apply, and the current practice direction are checked before filing
- The court's or tribunal's current index is checked before assuming a generative-AI practice direction applies. None was stated on the page opened for this guide.
