• Privacy Act 1988 (as amended by Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024)federal_legislation · In force

  APP entities must comply with the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles governing collection, use, disclosure, and security of personal information, and must notify the OAIC and affected individuals of eligible data breaches.

• Australia's AI Ethics Framework (Department of Industry)voluntary_framework · Voluntary

  While voluntary, organisations are encouraged to embed all eight AI ethics principles — human-centred values, fairness, privacy and security, reliability and safety, transparency, contestability, accountability, and wellbeing — into their AI governance practices.

How the AI Risk Register approaches this

You select jurisdiction, industry, and risk appetite. The tool produces a register pre-populated with 12 to 18 AI risks relevant to your sector — each already scored on a 5×5 matrix with suggested mitigations.

You receive the same register in both .xlsx and .docx formats: the spreadsheet for live editing and ongoing risk-committee work, and the Word document for paper sign-off and board appendices. Add organisation-specific risks, adjust scores, assign owners, and set review cadence — the starting point is a credible draft, not a blank template.

What you get

• ✓ Arrives as a working spreadsheet — not a PDF — so it fits straight into your risk workflow.
• ✓ Each risk carries the regulatory obligation it maps to, so reviewers can trace the "why" without re-researching.
• ✓ Bias considerations drawn from published evidence relevant to your sector, surfacing failure modes that generic templates miss.
• ✓ Designed to be signed off by a qualified risk owner — the output does not replace that review, it accelerates the drafting stage.
