National AI Centre launches AI.gov.au
Australia now has a single front door for government AI guidance — agencies developing their own materials should reference rather than duplicate it.
Key points
- DISR's National AI Centre has launched AI.gov.au, consolidating government AI guidance, tools, and resources in one platform.
- The platform targets businesses, SMEs, and not-for-profits, and will also support AISI safety guidance accessibility.
- Initial release draws on SaaM AI Adopt Centre user research; further resources will be added iteratively over time.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Consider Agencies developing or updating internal AI guidance and capability uplift materials could assess whether AI.gov.au resources are suitable for referencing or linking, to avoid duplication with the authoritative government source.
- Monitor Policy and communications teams may want to monitor how AI.gov.au evolves — particularly as NAIC adds guidance informed by ongoing user research and AISI safety outputs — to keep internal materials aligned.

DISR's National AI Centre has launched AI.gov.au, a centralised platform delivering practical AI guidance, tools, and resources under the National AI Plan. Designed primarily for businesses, SMEs, and not-for-profits, it covers AI strategy and planning, adoption change management, risk considerations, and capability building. The first release is informed by user research and engagement through the SaaM AI Adopt Centre, and consolidates content previously scattered across industry.gov.au. It will also make AI Safety Institute guidance more accessible to smaller organisations, with additional resources to be added over time.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Consider] Agencies developing or updating internal AI guidance and capability uplift materials could assess whether AI.gov.au resources are suitable for referencing or linking, to avoid duplication with the authoritative government source.
- [Monitor] Policy and communications teams may want to monitor how AI.gov.au evolves — particularly as NAIC adds guidance informed by ongoing user research and AISI safety outputs — to keep internal materials aligned.
