When to use it
Use when a person may apply to Victim Assist Queensland and the file needs the published category, reporting rule and time limit recorded before an application is prepared.
Used for these tasks
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
The tool may enter the category and the dates the file suggests, and the lawyer decides eligibility and any extension.
AI may
- Record which victim description on the guide is being considered.
- Record whether the violence was reported, and to whom the guide says that category must report.
- Enter the three-year date, or the 21st birthday if the person was under 18.
- If the act was before 1 December 2009, record which of the guide's three conditions is said to be met.
AI must not
- Do not prepare the Victim Assist application. That form is a separate precedent.
- Do not decide that special circumstances justify extra time.
- Do not state a section of the Victims of Crime Assistance Act 2009. The Act was not opened.
- Do not write the victim's account of the violence.
The lawyer checks
- Confirm the category, the reporting rule and the date against the current guide. It was last updated on 4 August 2026 when read.
- Confirm whether the act was before or after 1 December 2009, and after 1 July 2017 if domestic violence is relied on for special primary victim status.
- If an extension is sought, the supporting information comes from a doctor, psychologist, counsellor, or domestic and family violence service, as the guide describes.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
