From Policy to Practice: AI Governance for Australian Government Procurement

AI adoption is accelerating across government. Governance isn’t keeping pace.
Of 56 Australian Government entities adopting AI, only 27% had assurance policies in place. As AI moves deeper into procurement decisions, the challenge is no longer simply getting the technology to work—it’s ensuring every AI-assisted decision can be owned, governed, explained, and defended under review.
This whitepaper provides Australian government procurement leaders with a practical framework for moving AI from policy to approval-ready practice—without retrofitting governance after deployment.

What’s Inside the Whitepaper?

• The five governance pillars every procurement AI deployment should address
• Where your agency sits on the AI readiness spectrum
• Why the approval pipeline is becoming the adoption pipeline
• How to classify AI use cases by risk and apply the right oversight
• Where human decision-making must remain non-negotiable
• How to build audit evidence into the workflow, not after the fact
• What government data residency, security and access mean for AI procurement
• A practical 90-day path from governance baseline to pilot readiness
