AI Policy Implementation & Partner Agency Advisory

Queensland Government
2025 - Current
Cross-agency governance, platform, and analytics stakeholders

Project Overview

AI policy and governance advisory delivered across ITP and its partner agencies -translating QGEA AI directions, the FAIRA framework, the Human Rights Act 2019, and Australian Privacy Principles obligations into practical controls for real AI initiatives, including a governed Databricks AI proof of concept with the Queensland Academy of Sport.

Project Impact

Partner agencies gained AI governance they could actually execute -trials ran with clear guardrails, spend risks were controlled before they materialised, and governance requirements arrived as delivery-ready backlogs rather than abstract policy.

Project Objectives

Translate legislation and policy into practical, project-level AI controls

Govern partner agency AI trials from framework to feedback

Advise on AI platform cost governance under consumption-based billing

Define governance delivery backlogs partner agencies can execute

Project Scope

The engagement combined hands-on trial governance with advisory across partner agencies, covering risk documentation, acceptable use, cost control recommendations, and governance backlog definition.

Key Areas

  • QAS Databricks AI proof-of-concept governance framework
