When to use it
Use before a practitioner or clinic publishes advertising for a regulated health service, including on a website or social media.
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
The tool places the advertisement in the checklist and marks phrases the lawyer has selected, and the lawyer decides whether section 133 is met.
AI may
- Quote the advertisement the lawyer supplies into the rows.
- Flag a use of the word surgeon for the lawyer to check against the specialist registrations named on the Ahpra page.
AI must not
- Do not clear the advertisement.
- Do not rewrite it into a compliant version.
- Do not advise that Ahpra has approved it. The guidelines say Ahpra and the National Boards do not advise whether specific advertising is compliant.
The lawyer checks
- Read section 133. The guidelines quote section 133(1)(a) and list the further prohibitions in the executive summary.
- Check titles against sections 113 to 120, which the guidelines say apply. Those sections were not opened.
- The guidelines took effect on 14 December 2020. The page says they will be updated for the 2022 penalty change when next reviewed.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
