Where this comes from
The official form is published by justice.tas.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-22.
When to use it
Use when a person applies for Victims of Crime Assistance in Tasmania under the Victims of Crime Assistance Act 1976. The form is a statutory declaration. Do not use the extension-of-time form as the application itself. AI does not draft any part of the declaration.
Used for these tasks
- Build the victims' claim eligibility and deadline register
- Index the police, medical and counselling records for a victims' application
- Prepare the application to a state victims support scheme
- Check a victims' scheme decision against the categories and limits
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
The application is a statutory declaration. AI may index documents already on the file and name the published form. The lawyer writes the declaration, including the account of the crime.
AI may
- Name the published application and mark whether the current file is already on the matter
- Index police, medical and expense documents the lawyer has already collected, by date and source
- List the time limits and the maximum amounts stated on the financial assistance page for the lawyer to check
AI must not
- Must not draft any sentence of the statutory declaration, including the account of the offence or its effect
- Must not draft witnessing words or a statement of truth
- Must not sign, witness or lodge the application
The lawyer checks
- The current application file is a statutory declaration and is witnessed before it is lodged
- The file name is not treated as a form number or as a commencement date
- Time limits, including the child sexual abuse exception stated on the page, are checked for this applicant
- 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.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
