FAQ
Is ISO 42001 required in Australia?
Not currently. AS ISO/IEC 42001:2024 was adopted in Australia and is becoming a de-facto procurement requirement, particularly for federal contracts.
When does the AU Mandatory AI Guardrails legislation pass?
Treasury + DISR consulted through 2024-2025. Legislation expected for high-risk AI uses — banking decisions, healthcare diagnostics, employment, education. Voluntary standard remains the baseline.
