Artificial Intelligence Transparency Statement

Published: September 01, 2025

We recognise the benefits of safe, responsible and transparent Artificial Intelligence (AI) and are committed to adopting emerging technologies and AI to enhance our capability and efficiencies. 

Our use of AI

We have not yet adopted any specific AI applications or systems in our operations but are exploring options to introduce AI to support workplace productivity within our corporate and enabling domain. 

Any future decisions or outcomes generated by AI that could affect the public or environment will involve human oversight or intervention to ensure fairness and accountability.

 As we adopt AI capabilities, we will update this statement with information on: 

  • how we use AI
  • governance and monitoring, and
  • public interaction and impact.

Accountable Official

We have appointed our Chief Operating Officer (COO) as our Accountable Official. The COO is responsible for ensuring the Authority’s AI complies with the DTA Policy and supports transparency, accountability, and public confidence. The COO will oversee governance and risk management to ensure any future use of AI safe, effective and accountable.

Compliance and review

We will utilise AI in accordance with applicable legislation, regulations, frameworks and policies.

We will continue to comply with all mandatory requirements of the Policy for responsible use of AI in government.

We will regularly review our compliance as a part of existing governance, and risk management processes.

This transparency statement was made in September 2025 and will be reviewed annually, and sooner if our approach to AI changes.
