On 20 August 2026, President Justice Emilios Kyrou AO signed a new practice direction on the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI).
The purpose of the Administrative Review Tribunal (Generative AI) Practice Direction [PDF, <1 MB] (Generative AI Practice Direction) is to provide guidance on the use of generative AI in Tribunal proceedings, specifically:
- our approach and expectations of any person using generative AI
- instances where extra caution is required when using generative AI
- instances when a person must verify, explain or disclose the use of generative AI.
The Generative AI Practice Direction should be read in alignment with the following practice directions, which have recently been updated:
- Administrative Review Tribunal (Common Procedures) Practice Direction 2026 [PDF, <1 MB]
- Administrative Review Tribunal (Expert Evidence) Practice Direction 2026 [PDF, <1 MB] .
A checklist for using generative AI in Tribunal proceedings [PDF, <1 MB] has also been published to help users understand their obligations under the Generative AI Practice Direction.
This is the 8th practice direction the Tribunal has published. You can find all practice directions on our website .
