Use when acting for a person injured by a violent crime or modern slavery in NSW, a witness to a violent crime, or a family member of someone who died because of a violent crime or road crime, who wants support from the Victims Support Scheme.

## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare the application to a state victims support scheme](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md#A62-V20261018-4)
- [Index the police, medical and counselling records for a victims' application](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md#A62-V20261018-2)
- [Build the expenses and income loss schedule for a financial assistance claim](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md#A62-V20261018-3)

## How AI may be used

AI may index the police, medical and counselling records and build the expenses schedule for the lawyer to check; the victim's account of the violence and its impact is taken by the lawyer in the victim's own words.

**AI may:**

- Index police, medical and counselling records with dates and sources
- Build the expenses and income loss schedule from receipts and payslips, for the lawyer to check
- Check the application is complete for the victim's category and list missing documents

**AI must not:**

- Must not write the victim's account of the violence or its impact
- Must not decide which category of support applies or whether a time limit has passed
- Must not process the victim's records in a tool not approved for sensitive information

**The lawyer checks:**

- The victim fits the scheme: injured by violent crime or modern slavery, a witness, or a family member of someone who died from violent or road crime
- The support sought and the time limit for the victim's situation checked on the scheme page
- Supporting documents attached and the account in the victim's own words
