Link to the ACT related victims and homicide witnesses application on the Human Rights Commission forms page. The link text states no form number. A related victim is a family member or dependant of a person who died as a result of a crime. The form file was not opened.

## Key facts

- Kind: Form. A form to complete, or a guide to completing an official one.
- Practice area: [Victims of Crime Support & Compensation](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md)
- Jurisdictions: Australian Capital Territory
- AI level: Yellow. You and the tool draft together, with you directing. You check every statement you rely on.
- Law stated as at: 2026-10-22
- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-22 against the official form at hrc.act.gov.au and the authority it cites, for Australian Capital Territory.

## When to use it

Use when a family member or dependant of a person who died as a result of a crime in the ACT applies, or when a person was injured by witnessing that death and seeks the payments the forms page names. Do not use the primary victim form for this application. The tool does not write the account.

## How AI may be used

AI may check the application pack against the current form and list missing records. The lawyer writes any account of the violence and checks every form before it is lodged.

**AI may:**

- Check the pack against the current official form and list records the opened page says to include
- Flag when a primary, family, related or extension form is being used for the wrong applicant
- List the time limits, caps and contact details stated on the page that was opened

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft the account of the violence, the effect on the person, or any words that would be lodged in the application
- Must not invent a fact, a date, a police report or a medical finding
- Must not sign or lodge the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- The related-victim form, not the primary, funeral or extension form, is the file being used
- No form number is taken from the file name
- The lawyer checks which payments a witness of a death can seek on the current page
- 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.
