COMPLIANCE AUSTRALIA
Enforced at runtime.
Australia regulates AI through existing law and a capability-first National AI Plan – with the Privacy Act, the Voluntary AI Safety Standard and strong sector regulators.
The responsibility sits with your enterprise. EVEDY turns these obligations into machine-enforced policies.
FRAGMENTED AI REGULATION
The regulatory landscape for AI in Australia
No dedicated AI act – instead a combination of privacy law, voluntary standards that regulators expect you to follow, and sector-specific supervision. This is an incomplete excerpt of the current compliance.
REGULATION
WHAT IT REQUIRES
HOW EVEDY ENFORCES IT
Privacy Act 1988 & reforms
Including transparency obligations for automated decision-making
Australian Privacy Principles: lawful handling of personal information, security safeguards, transparency about automated decisions affecting individuals.
Automatic PII redaction in prompts and responses, access control via your IAM, disclosure-ready logs of automated decisions, complete audit trails.
Voluntary AI Safety Standard & National AI Plan
Ten guardrails; mandatory-guardrail proposal superseded by the National AI Plan
Testing, transparency, accountability, human oversight and record-keeping across the AI lifecycle – increasingly expected by regulators, boards and enterprise customers.
Each guardrail is mapped to a runtime control: policy enforcement per use case, human-oversight escalation, version testing and evaluation, tamper-evident records.
APRA expectations
Financial services: including CPS 230 Operational Risk Management
Sound governance of material service providers and technology risk – including AI models and agents used in critical operations.
A central control plane across all models and agents, continuous monitoring of non-deterministic behaviour, evidence for operational-risk reporting.
ACCC, ASIC & consumer law
Sector regulators applying existing law to AI
No misleading or deceptive conduct – including AI-generated outputs and claims; accountability for algorithmic outcomes.
Non-compliant outputs are detected, blocked or escalated in real time – before they reach customers.
ISO/IEC 42001 & internal policies
AI management standard and your own directives
A systematic AI management system: roles, processes, continuous improvement – plus your enterprise AI policies.
Enterprise policies are stored as machine-enforceable rules and applied automatically to every AI interaction – not just documented.
