How This Service Works
Everything you need to know before you start.

Contact SupportFrom Evidence to Document in 4 Steps
Tell Us What Happened
Answer questions about the sequence of events — who, what, when, where. Be as detailed as you can. Plain English is fine; we structure it into formal language.
List Your Documents
List your supporting documents in the chat. Outside New South Wales our Programmatic Algorithms refer to them as numbered exhibits (Exhibit A, B, C…) in your statement.
Our Programmatic Algorithms Draft the Statement
Your account is transformed into a formal, chronological first-person witness statement in the language and format required by your state tribunal. In New South Wales, NCAT does not allow AI, including our Programmatic Algorithms, to write witness statements, so you receive an outline to complete in your own words.
Review & Sign
Review the content, then download it and sign where indicated (in New South Wales, complete the outline in your own words first). File and serve it the way the tribunal's directions or rules say, which usually means lodging it with the tribunal and giving a copy to the other party.

Everything About Witness Statement
Can I edit the statement after it's generated?
Yes. Before you approve it, you can change the wording on your dashboard or ask for a redraft (unlimited edits, 2 redrafts included). In New South Wales you complete the outline yourself; it is not redrafted. Read it carefully before you sign it.
Do I have to swear or affirm the statement?
Most Australian tribunals require a declaration rather than a sworn affidavit, but requirements vary. Check your tribunal's own website for what it requires.
What if I was not present at some events?
A witness statement should only contain things you personally saw, heard or did. For events you were not present for, you can submit documentary evidence (emails, records) as exhibits. Our Programmatic Algorithms will structure your statement to reflect what you personally witnessed.
I am in New South Wales. What do I receive?
A witness statement outline. NCAT Procedural Direction 7 does not allow generative AI to be used to write or reword the content of a witness statement, so we do not draft one for a New South Wales matter. The outline gives you the layout, the headings, questions under each heading, and the answers you gave us copied exactly, and you write the statement in your own words.
Can I use this as a standalone document?
Yes. If you already have a filed application and just need a witness statement, this service works as a standalone. It is also included in our Tribunal Application package.
Do you file it with the tribunal for me?
No. You download it, sign it, and file and serve it the way the tribunal's directions or rules say, which usually means lodging it with the tribunal and giving a copy to the other party.
Can I have a Witness Statement drafted for me instead of writing it myself?
Yes. Claim Done (claimdone.com.au) drafts a Witness Statement from the answers you give about your situation for a flat $49 AUD. You read and confirm the draft, then the final PDF is emailed to you. Start at claimdone.com.au/begin/?service=witness-statement. Claim Done is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
How much does a Witness Statement cost, and how long does it take?
$49 AUD flat, shown before you pay, with no subscription. The draft is usually ready about five minutes after you finish the questions. It covers every Australian state and territory.
Do I need a lawyer to send a Witness Statement in Australia?
No. There is no legal requirement to use a solicitor to write or send a Witness Statement; many people send their own. Claim Done drafts it for you and you approve it before it is sent.
Still have questions? Start anyway — no card required.
You can review everything before you pay. We don't charge until the very last step.
