Australian-Regulatory-Ready for Public & Private Sectors

National Mandates

Australia's shared federal baseline underpinned by the National Framework for the Assurance of AI in Government (June 2024) and AI Ethics Principles

  • Common Assurance Spine: Core expectations around accountability, risk-based assessment, standards alignment, and data governance across all Australian governments.
  • Ethics as Binding Policy: AI Ethics Principles (community benefit, fairness, privacy, transparency, accountability) underpin policies across the Commonwealth and all states and territories.
  • DTA Policy Foundation: Mandatory requirements under DTA Policy v2.0 (Dec 2025) including AI Accountable Officials, transparency statements, and use case registers.

NSW AI Assessment Framework (Benchmark)

Leading Practice Jurisdiction

Streamlined compliance with NSW AIAF (mandatory under Circular DCS-2024-04, modernised January 2026)

  • Auto-Scored AIAF: 16-question assessment with risk levels (low, medium, high, critical), mitigation measures, and delegate sign-off.
  • AIRC Escalation: High/critical-risk outcomes routed to NSW AI Review Committee via designated independent chair.
  • Investment Thresholds: Digital Assurance Framework pathways for projects exceeding $5 million.
