## Key facts

- Kind: Form. A form to complete, or a guide to completing an official one.
- Practice area: [Employment & Workplace Relations](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/employment-and-workplace-relations.md)
- Jurisdictions: Commonwealth
- AI level: Yellow. You and the tool draft together, with you directing. You check every statement you rely on.

- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-22 against the official form at fcfcoa.gov.au and the 2 authorities it cites, for Commonwealth.

## When to use it

Use when the general protections dismissal claim is filed in the Federal Circuit and Family Court, not in the Fair Work Commission. Commission Form F8 already has its own guide.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft a general-protections or retaliation claim and response](https://ailawframework.com/practice/employment-and-workplace-relations/draft-a-general-protections-or-retaliation-claim-and-response.md)
- [Build a dismissal chronology and urgent filing check](https://ailawframework.com/practice/employment-and-workplace-relations/build-a-dismissal-chronology-and-urgent-filing-check.md)

## 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:**

- This is the Court's Form 2, not Commission Form F8 or Form F2.
- The form page prints a citation to the 2025 general federal law rules, paragraph 30.04(b). The forms index uses a different paragraph. Check the current rules.
- Read the Central Practice Direction for general federal law proceedings, which the page requires before starting.
- Download the September 2025 PDF linked on the page, or any later file that replaces it.
