Use when acting for a Victim Assist Queensland applicant who asks the scheme to pay counselling for a psychological injury or adverse impact caused by an act of violence in Queensland.

## Used for these tasks

- [Request approved counselling under a victims support scheme](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation/request-approved-counselling-under-a-victims-support-scheme.md)
- [Build the expenses and income loss schedule for a financial assistance claim](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation/build-the-expenses-and-income-loss-schedule-for-a-financial-assistance-c.md)
- [Respond to a scheme's request for further information](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation/respond-to-a-scheme-s-request-for-further-information.md)

## How AI may be used

The tool may list counselling invoices and session counts for the lawyer to check, and it writes nothing in the request or the acknowledgement.

**AI may:**

- List invoices, rebates and the number of sessions already invoiced
- Note whether a Part A application number is already on the file

**AI must not:**

- Must not write the privacy acknowledgement, the consent, or the request that is submitted
- Must not decide whether a further session needs the comprehensive clinical report
- Must not send the request

**The lawyer checks:**

- The counselling is for a psychological injury or adverse impact caused by the violence, or a pre-existing condition the violence made worse
- The practitioner is an approved health practitioner
- The 12-session figure on the page, and any later report the page requires
- Part A is not duplicated if it has already been submitted
