When to use it
Use when an Australian resident, or a close family member, may claim the Australian Victim of Terrorism Overseas Payment after the Prime Minister has declared an overseas terrorist act.
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 may record which eligibility points and which listed factors are present on the file, and the lawyer decides whether a claim is made.
AI may
- Record whether the Prime Minister has declared the overseas act, and the name of that declaration.
- Record residence on the day of the act as a question, not as a concluded visa status.
- Separate the primary-victim factors from the secondary-victim factors, using the page's lists.
- Record whether a close family member, as the page defines that term, died as a direct result of the act.
AI must not
- Do not state a dollar cap. This page does not state one.
- Do not decide residence. The page links residence descriptions, and that page was not opened.
- Do not treat a factor the page says is considered as a rule the page did not state.
- Do not prepare the claim form. The how-to-claim page was not opened.
The lawyer checks
- Confirm the declaration, the residence test and the factors on the current Who can get it page. It was last updated on 24 September 2025 when read.
- Confirm that the person, and close family members, were not involved in the commission of the act.
- For a secondary victim, confirm how the payment is shared. The page says it is shared between eligible secondary victims who claim, and it does not set the shares on this page.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
