Where this comes from

The official form is published by worksafe.nt.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-22.

When to use it

Use when a worker in the Northern Territory is making a workers compensation claim other than a death claim, on the form NT WorkSafe publishes as the approved form. Death claims use two separate approved forms. Do not describe fields that were not on the page.

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 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.
