Governance is usually written for boards and lawyers. This is for the people who own the pipeline. In Australia the obligations attach to how you build and run AI systems, not just to what you ship.
For: AI and ML engineers, platform and MLOps teams, heads of engineering, CTOs
For engineers, ML teams, and CTOs, Australian AI governance is not an abstract policy conversation. There is no standalone AI Act, so the rules that bind an AI system are the existing ones, and they land at specific points in the lifecycle. APP 11 of the Privacy Act attaches to your data pipelines, logs, and access controls. The automated-decision transparency duty commencing 10 December 2026 attaches to any system that makes or substantially assists decisions about individuals. The National AI Centre's AI6 essential practices and ISO/IEC 42001 define the development-process controls a procurement panel or insurer will ask to see. And if you supply an APRA-regulated customer, CPS 234 and CPS 230 reach you as a material service provider. The work is to know which obligation lands at which stage, and to leave the evidence.
