AI Data Privacy & Compliance for Australian Businesses

Navigate the Australian Privacy Act, implement robust AI governance, and deploy AI solutions that are secure, transparent, and compliant with Australian regulations.

Why AI Compliance & Privacy Matter

Legal Risk & Penalties

Non-compliance with Australian Privacy Act can result in fines up to $2.5M. OAIC actively enforces privacy regulations, especially for AI systems processing personal data.

Data Breach Prevention

AI systems that process sensitive data require robust security. Data breaches under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme can damage reputation and customer trust.

Transparency Requirements

Australian AI Ethics Framework requires explainability. You must be able to explain how your AI makes decisions, especially in high-stakes contexts.

Competitive Advantage

Compliance-first AI builds customer trust and opens doors to enterprise contracts. Many Australian organizations won't work with vendors who can't demonstrate compliance.

AI Compliance & Privacy Services

Privacy Impact Assessment for AI

Comprehensive assessment of your AI system against Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Identify privacy risks and compliance gaps before deployment.

  • Full audit against all 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
  • Data flow mapping: identify what personal information is collected, stored, and processed
  • Risk assessment: high/medium/low categorization with mitigation strategies
  • Compliance roadmap with prioritized remediation actions
Required for: Healthcare, financial services, government, any AI processing sensitive personal data

AI Governance Framework Development

Build a comprehensive AI governance framework aligned with Australian AI Ethics Principles. Policies, processes, and controls for responsible AI deployment.

  • AI ethics policy aligned with Australian Government AI Ethics Framework
  • AI risk management framework and approval processes
  • Model documentation templates and AI register
  • Bias testing and fairness assessment procedures
  • Human oversight and accountability mechanisms
Best for: Organizations deploying multiple AI systems, enterprise risk management

Secure AI Implementation & Architecture Review

Technical security assessment of your AI infrastructure. Ensure Australian data residency, encryption, access controls, and audit trails meet compliance requirements.

  • Australian data residency verification (AWS Sydney, Azure Australia)
  • Encryption at rest and in transit for all AI training data and models
  • Access control and authentication mechanisms (RBAC, MFA)
  • Audit logging and monitoring for AI model access and predictions
  • Data minimization and retention policy implementation
Best for: Custom AI development projects, vendor security assessments

Australian AI Regulatory Landscape

Privacy Act 1988 (Australian Privacy Principles)

Primary privacy law governing how organizations handle personal information. All 13 APPs apply to AI systems processing personal data.

Key requirements: Transparency, data quality, security, access rights, data minimization

Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) Scheme

Requires notification to OAIC and affected individuals within 30 days if AI system breach is likely to cause serious harm.

Key requirements: Incident response plan, breach assessment procedures, notification templates

AI Ethics Framework (Australian Government)

8 principles for responsible AI: human-centered, transparent, fair, accountable, privacy-protected, reliable, contestable, secure.

Status: Voluntary but increasingly expected for government procurement and enterprise contracts

Industry-Specific Regulations

Healthcare (My Health Records Act), Financial Services (APRA prudential standards), Government (Protective Security Policy Framework).

Impact: Additional requirements beyond Privacy Act depending on industry and data sensitivity

Our Compliance Process

Initial Compliance Assessment (Week 1)

Understand your AI use case, data flows, and current compliance posture. Identify high-priority risks and gaps requiring immediate attention.

2

Deep Dive Analysis (Weeks 2-4)

Technical review of AI architecture, data handling, security controls. Legal review of contracts, privacy notices, and policies. Document findings and recommendations.

3

Remediation & Implementation (Ongoing)

Deliver compliance roadmap with prioritized actions. Support implementation of governance frameworks, technical controls, and policy updates. Ongoing advisory as regulations evolve.

Investment

AI compliance and privacy consulting engagements typically range from $10,000 to $40,000 depending on scope, number of AI systems, and complexity. Initial compliance assessments start at $5,000.
