Enacted in September 2024 and updated in December 2025, this policy outlines a framework for the safe, ethical, and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) across government entities. The policy introduces principles under the "enable, engage, and evolve" framework, mandates transparency and accountability measures, and provides guidance on risk assessment and integration with existing governance structures.

Initiative overview

The goal of these guidelines is to guide Australian government agencies in using AI in ways that are effective, ethical, and aligned with public expectations - while also encouraging innovation and improving public services.
