Link to the Northern Territory family victim financial assistance application. The page gives no form number. The page states a cap of $10,000 for financial loss, shared if more than one family victim claims for the same violent act. 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: Northern 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 nt.gov.au and the authority it cites, for Northern Territory.

## When to use it

Use when a family member who incurred financial loss applies after a person died because of violence in the Northern Territory. The page lists a spouse or de facto partner, a parent, step-parent or guardian, and a child, stepchild or person under guardianship, and a person who was financially dependent. Do not use the primary victim form for this claim.

## 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 applicant fits a family-victim category stated on the current page
- The family form, not the primary, secondary, interim or funeral form, is the one on the file
- The cap and the sharing rule are checked on the current page before a figure is given
- 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.
