When to use it
Use when advising a participant, before or after a plan decision, on a support they want funded. Do not use it to advise that the support is reasonable and necessary. Do not use the funded-support criteria as the test for access to the scheme.
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
AI may list the documents and leave every conclusion blank. The lawyer writes the advice, including whether the support is an NDIS support and whether it is reasonable and necessary. The tool does not write that conclusion.
AI may
- List the support asked for and the reports by title, author and date
- Leave a blank beside each criterion on the NDIA page
- Remind the lawyer that the supports list and the replacement-support page were not opened
AI must not
- Must not write that a support is or is not reasonable and necessary
- Must not write that a support is or is not an NDIS support
- Must not invent a rule from the guideline PDF or the supports list
- Must not give this memo to the participant or the NDIA as the advice
The lawyer checks
- The current NDIS supports list and the replacement-support page are read before any conclusion
- Each criterion is matched to evidence, and the exclusions on the NDIA page are considered
- The conclusion is the lawyer's, and it is not copied from a blank in this structure
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
