Where this comes from
The official form is published by worksafe.act.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-22.
When to use it
Use when checking the WorkSafe ACT steps for a worker's compensation claim, including notice to the employer and, where the worker is incapacitated for 7 days or more, the claim form and certificate of capacity. Do not invent a form number. The claim form is obtained from the employer.
Used for these tasks
- Draft the pre-action notice or statutory claim form from the instructions
- Reconcile the claim form with the medical chronology and payroll evidence
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 check a draft against the current form and list gaps. The lawyer writes the injury account and checks every form that will be signed or lodged.
AI may
- Check the draft against the current official form and list blank fields and missing attachments named on the page
- Flag when a death claim, a dispute form or a medical certificate is being used as the worker's claim form
- List the lodgement path stated on the page that was opened
AI must not
- Must not draft the injury narrative or any words that would be signed or lodged
- Must not decide whether the injury is compensable or calculate an entitlement
- Must not sign, lodge or serve the form
The lawyer checks
- The current form is the one the scheme page prescribes for this kind of claim
- The injury account, dates and earnings match the instructions and the medical certificate
- Any time limit, excess or insurer step is checked against the current scheme rules
- The court's or tribunal's current index is checked before assuming a generative-AI practice direction applies. None was stated on the page opened for this guide.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
