## When to use it

Use while collecting documents for a primary victim's NSW recognition payment application. The report of what happened is a police, government or government-funded report, or the police information in the form. It is not a statement drafted for the victim.

## Used for these tasks

- [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)
- [Index the police, medical and counselling records for a victims' application](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation/index-the-police-medical-and-counselling-records-for-a-victims-applicati.md)

## How AI may be used

Within this fixed list, AI may tick a document as present or missing by its date and type; the lawyer confirms each document is the one the scheme will accept.

**AI may:**

- Mark each listed document present or missing from the file, with its date
- Flag a medical, dental or counselling report that is still outstanding and the 12-month date from lodgement

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft the report of what happened, or a statement of impact
- Must not send identity documents to a tool that is not approved for that material
- Must not lodge the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- The report of what happened is a report of the kind the page accepts, or the police information the form asks for
- The 12-month date for a missing medical, dental or counselling report is diarised from lodgement
- Identity documents match the name on the application, or a change-of-name document is included
