## 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 losses schedule for the lawyer to check; the victim's statement of events and impact is taken by the lawyer in the victim's own words.

**AI may:**

- Index police, court, medical and counselling records with dates and sources
- Build the losses schedule from invoices, receipts and Medicare or insurer rebate documents, for the lawyer to check
- Check the application and attachments are complete and list missing documents

**AI must not:**

- Must not write the victim's statement of events or victim impact statement
- Must not decide eligibility or whether an extension of time should be sought
- Must not process the victim's records in a tool not approved for sensitive information

**The lawyer checks:**

- An injury from an act of violence that occurred in Queensland, and the act of violence reported
- The applicant's category: victim, parent of a child victim, witness, or close family member of a person killed
- Online application (primary or related victims) or the PDF form (parent secondary victims and witnesses)
- ID documents and supporting documents attached; the account in the victim's own words
