## 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.
