Data Strategy 2025–2027
AGD's data strategy signals how a central law and justice agency plans to build toward AI-capable analytics - relevant context for cross-agency data sharing and governance work.
Key points
- Attorney-General's Department has published its Data Strategy 2025–2027, covering four focus areas.
- AI and machine learning are named as analytical tools to support evidence-based policy - but remain secondary to the data governance framing.
- Limited direct AI governance content; this is primarily a data maturity and literacy strategy with AI as one thread.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Agencies working on cross-agency data sharing or justice-adjacent policy may want to monitor how AGD's data and analytics capability develops under this strategy.
- Consider AI governance practitioners could consider how AGD's framing of AI as an analytical tool within a data strategy compares to their own agency's approach to integrating AI into data capability planning.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

The Attorney-General's Department has published its Data Strategy 2025–2027, structured around four focus areas: data literacy, analytical capability, Indigenous Data Sovereignty, and data sharing. AI and machine learning are referenced under analytical capability as tools to improve evidence-based policy development, but are not the strategy's primary focus. The strategy also commits to supporting the National Agreement on Closing the Gap and to responsible, privacy-protective data sharing across government. The document is brief in its extracted form and appears to be a high-level directional strategy rather than a detailed implementation plan.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Agencies working on cross-agency data sharing or justice-adjacent policy may want to monitor how AGD's data and analytics capability develops under this strategy.
- [Consider] AI governance practitioners could consider how AGD's framing of AI as an analytical tool within a data strategy compares to their own agency's approach to integrating AI into data capability planning.
