## When to use it

Use this when a child or young person who is Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is applying for financial assistance and the family chooses the FAS cultural support plan. A current plan may be uploaded instead if it has professional contacts and healing-journey goals.

## Used for these tasks

- [Record who may help a child apply for victims assistance, and where the money is held](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation/record-who-may-help-a-child-apply-for-victims-assistance-and-where-the-m.md)
- [Prepare the application to a state victims support scheme](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation/prepare-the-application-to-a-state-victims-support-scheme.md)

## How AI may be used

The tool indexes the plan headings and does not write the child's account or sign the parent or guardian consent.

**AI may:**

- Record who the file names as parent or guardian, and whether a protection order is already on the file.
- List the blank headings so the lawyer can see what the template still asks for.

**AI must not:**

- Do not sign the parent or guardian consent, and do not write that consent.
- Do not write the child's connection-to-community or healing-journey account.
- Do not invent clan, language, mob, community, or protection-order details.

**The lawyer checks:**

- The consent asks whether a parent or guardian agrees to the FAS using the information for the application and for referrals to services or programs.
- The consent has a field for the type of protection order if applicable. Confirm the order from the file before anything is written there.
- An existing plan may be used instead. The template says it must have professional contacts and goals that relate to the healing journey.
- Health information stays in a firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether any disclosure would be a notifiable breach under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
