Link to the Tribunal's NDIS review page and online application, with a guide to which NDIA decisions it can review, the internal review step (and the 90-day exception), the information to give, and AI use with participant records.

## Key facts

- Kind: Form. A form to complete, or a guide to completing an official one.
- Practice area: [NDIS & Disability Law](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/ndis-and-disability-law.md)
- Jurisdictions: Australia, Commonwealth
- AI level: Yellow. AI can help in set ways. A lawyer checks specific points before use.
- Law stated as at: 2026-10-18
- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-18 against the official form at art.gov.au and the 4 authorities it cites, for Australia and Commonwealth.

## When to use it

Use when acting for a participant, prospective participant, or the parent or guardian of a child participant who disagrees with an NDIA internal review decision under the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013, or whose internal review has not been completed in time.

## Used for these tasks

- [Build the NDIS participant's decision, review and deadline register](https://ailawframework.com/practice/ndis-and-disability-law.md#A55-N20261018-1)
- [Reconcile the NDIA's Tribunal documents with the participant's evidence](https://ailawframework.com/practice/ndis-and-disability-law.md#A55-N20261018-4)

## How AI may be used

AI may check the application and attachments against the Tribunal's list and draft brief reasons from the lawyer's analysis for the lawyer to settle; the lawyer checks every statement in each application and keeps the person's own account in their own words.

**AI may:**

- Check the application has every item the Tribunal asks for and list what is missing
- Calculate the lodgment deadline from the date the decision was received, for the lawyer to confirm against the decision letter
- Draft brief reasons why the decision is wrong from the lawyer's analysis, for the lawyer to settle
- Index the treating and other reports against the supports in dispute, with author and date

**AI must not:**

- Must not decide whether the decision is reviewable or what the grounds are
- Must not write the person's statement of their circumstances or evidence in their words
- Must not process health, disability or income records in a tool not approved for sensitive information

**The lawyer checks:**

- The decision is an NDIA internal review decision the Tribunal can review, or the internal review was not completed within 90 days (or other specified period)
- Date the decision was received, a copy of the decision, and a copy of the internal review request attached
- Brief reasons why the decision is wrong, settled by the lawyer
- Any new relevant information obtained after the decision included or listed for later
- Representative details and, for a child participant, the parent or guardian's role correct
