## When to use it

Use when helping an adult affected family member apply for an FVIO in Victoria where police have not applied. Applicants under 18 apply through the Children's Court of Victoria. In immediate danger, call 000.

## How AI may be used

Lawyer-led. The application is signed by the applicant as true. AI may help a lawyer put the applicant's own account in date order and index documents, but must not write or embellish the narrative or choose conditions.

**AI may:**

- Arrange incidents the applicant has described into a dated chronology with the applicant's own wording preserved
- Index supporting documents and list missing items

**AI must not:**

- Must not write, expand or "improve" the description of the respondent's behaviour
- Must not enter the applicant's or children's address, school or new phone number into any AI tool
- Must not select conditions or predict the outcome

**The lawyer checks:**

- The applicant has read the application and understands they are promising it is true
- Conditions are tailored to the risks and work with any family law orders
- Information-sharing consent choices are informed and safe
