Aligned with Australian Regulatory Frameworks

The Sprint programme aligns with national mandates and state-specific requirements across the nine Australian jurisdictions (Commonwealth, six states, and two territories).

National Mandates

Aligned with the National Framework for the Assurance of AI in Government and the Policy for the responsible use of AI in government, covering core governance requirements for Commonwealth agencies.

All Jurisdictions Covered

Comprehensive support for compliance across Federal, State, and Territory requirements, from NSW and Queensland to WA, Victoria, and every other jurisdiction.

Why Now?

The Cost of Non-Compliance Is Rising Fast

Federal Policy Milestones

DTA Policy v2.0 Phase 1 requirements have applied since 15 June 2026, with the next milestone tranche due December 2026 covering AI strategy, oversight, preparedness, operations, and impact assessments.

Privacy Transparency Obligations

Privacy Act automated decision transparency obligations commence 10 December 2026 for APP entities using qualifying automated decision-making systems.

Procurement Gates

NSW and WA both publish $5 million thresholds linked to additional oversight, with jurisdiction-specific review pathways.

Data Sovereignty

Offshore data processing does not exempt companies from compliance with Australian Privacy Principles. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) enforces this principle across all organisations.
