This Parliamentary Workplace Support Service (PWSS) AI Transparency Statement details the PWSS implementation of the DTA policy requirements. ## Approach to AI adoption and use The PWSS is committed to the ethical and responsible use of AI. The Department of Parliamentary Services (DPS) plays a central role managing the adoption of AI technologies within the Australian Parliament, including AI technologies used by the PWSS. The Parliament’s accountable officials have appointed an inter-organisational AI working group. The group was established with the purpose of collaborating across the Parliament to meet the DTA policy requirements through a shared responsibility model. The shared responsibility model recognises: - each Department or Parliamentary entity is independent but shares a common service provider that provides the core ICT services for the Parliament—DPS Information Services Division. - the use of AI by an individual or group within the Parliament may impact other individuals, groups, agencies or the parliament as a whole; therefore, collaboration is essential, and consistent with the Parliamentary Department’s commitments under the Strategic Framework for the Parliamentary Service. The PWSS recognises the transformative potential of AI to enhance efficiency, improve service delivery, and support informed decision making across PWSS operations. Adoption of AI will be guided by strong safeguards to manage risks related to privacy, accuracy, bias, and ethical use. AI-generated outputs will be subject to human oversight, and sensitive data will be secure with enterprise data protection. This balanced approach ensures AI is used responsibly, transparently, and in alignment with APS values and public trust. ## How the PWSS uses AI The PWSS uses AI to support analytics for insights and enhance workplace productivity to produce a more consistent output than manual processing. The PWSS does not use AI as a replacement for interaction with human officers in any client service delivery functions and does not use AI to make decisions. ## AI Safety and governance Under the shared responsibility model, PWSS will partner with DPS to align with the APS AI Plan and the DTA’s Policy for the responsible use of AI in government. DPS as the ICT system owner and the PWSS AI Accountable Official are together responsible for: - ensuring that any AI is implemented safely and responsibly - monitoring the effectiveness of the deployed AI tools - legal and regulatory compliance of the ICT system - identifying potential negative impacts of AI use cases

It also requires them to publish a statement outlexplaining their approach to AI adoption and use, known as a (‘transparency statement’) .\. The Department of Home Affairs, including ABF (the department) is responsible for providing services, policy, and regulation across a range of domains including immigration and border protection, citizenship, cyber and national security. In delivering its role effectively and efficiently, t, published its first Artificial Intelligence (AI) transparency statement in February 2025. The department incorporupdatesd the safe and responsible use of data and enabling technologies including various forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI).\ What is Artificial Intelligence? Following the DTA, the department adopts the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) definition of an AI system:\ ‘An AI system is a machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments. Different AI systems vary in their levels of autonomy and adaptiveness after deployment.’\ is statement in March 2026. The updated statement below explains how the department uses AI safely and responsibly, in line with whole-of-government policy and oversight from our Accountable Official. It also outlines how we use AI to support our functions, manage risks, and strengthen governance, transparency and accountability as AI continues to evolve.​ ## Accountable Officials\ The Chief Data Officer (CDO) is the Accountable Official for AI under the policy and is responsible for leading the department's data and AI program. This includes: - improving AI literacy, policy - monitoring and improvement,ing AI policies - ensuring robust and ethical AI design and management, and implementation of - overseeing governance and assurance mechanisms for AI adoption in the secure and safe technology environments provided by Information Communication Technology (ICT). Domains of AI Usage The department embraces opportunities presented by emerging technolo The CDO also performs the role of the Chief AI Officer as required under the [AI Plan for the Australian Public Service 2025](https://www.digital.gov.au/policy/ai/australian-public-service-ai-plan-2025). Under this role, the CDO: - drives AI adoption - advocates for strategic change within the department - oversees experimentation and innovation - gives by developing and adopting AI systems inguidance and use cases, shares advice and supports internal engagement. ## AI usage in the department The department continues to invest in emerging technologies, including AI, to support of decision-‑making, risk mitigation and management, and administrative actionvities in a safe and responsible manner. The department uses AI to boost productivity by optimising processes across various domains:\  Service Delivery: with a range of systems toway. Importantly, no AI system makes administrative decisions or takes actions that affect individuals without human review. Currently, the department’s only public-facing AI-based interaction is through SmartGate. SmartGate uses AI-driven image processing technology to help eligible passengers move through airports more quickly. This improves efficiency of department’s service to clients such as and convenience for travellers while supporting the department’s operational objectives. The department uses AI across the following [domains](https://www.digital.gov.au/policy/ai/resources/use-classification): - Service delivery: AI systems use image processing technology and automated registration of submissions and, applications; or image processing systems to facilitate passenger movements.\  Law Enforcement, Intelligence and Security: the trained AI systems use advanced analytics for insights to inform a data-driven approach to risk identification, intelligence gathering and crime prevention.  Corporate and Enabling: the explorative use of AI systems and email triage to speed up service delivery to clients. - Compliance and fraud detection: AI-derived analytics for insights help identify persons and consignments of interest. - Law enforcement, intelligence and security: predictive models use data to support administrative tasks and research leading to faster generation of products for internal use such as feedback analysis of large surveys to derive key learnings that enable organisational growth and transformationpotentially suspicious cargo and identify security concerns that could help prevent crime. - Policy and legal: AI analytical tools support research, information synthesis and evidence gathering to inform policy development and legal analysis. - Compliance and Fraud Detection: AI systems are used to identify and share information with partners to supplement compliance activities, keeping the Australian community safe and ensuring the integrity of Australia's migration program.rporate and enabling: approved generative AI tools, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, support workplace productivity and do not make administrative decisions about individuals. ## AI governance The department uses both internal and third -party AI systems, with ongoing human monitoring and decision making to ensure AI use is safe, legal and ethical. OFFICIAL OFFICIAL Page 3 of 3 AI Transparency Statement\ AI Governance The department is committed to transparency and accountability in using AI, ensuring responsible implementation as the technology evolves. To ensure safety, security and ethical use of its AI systems, the department has implemented a number of controls for governing, monitoring and managing AI-related risks by:  aligning Home Affairs’ AI Ethics Policy in a safe and responsible manner to improve operations and maintain community trust. We are developing an AI Strategy and Data and AI Governance Framework to clearly guide how we use and manage AI systems. Our approach aligns with whole-of-government strategic directions, including the [APS AI Plan](https://www.digital.gov.au/policy/ai/australian-public-service-ai-plan-2025) and the [National AI Plan](https://www.industry.gov.au/publications/national-ai-plan). - **Ethical and rights-respecting use:** Our ethical approach to AI use aligns with [Australia’s AI Ethics Principles, and making the policy compliant with both international and Australi](https://www.industry.gov.au/publications/australias-ai-ethics-principles). This ensures we are consistent with relevant human rights legislation, such as and anti-discrimination obligations. These obligations include the _Racial Discrimination Act 1975_ , _Australian Human Right Commission Act 1986_ and _International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights  impleme_ as well as relevant ing processes and procedure, to enable continuous and transparent improvement of AI systems  embedding human monitoring, verification, and intervention ternational human rights commitments. - **Visibility, safeguards and continuous improvement:** The department keeps a registry of all AI technologies currently in operation to ensure strong oversight. We update this registry regularly to record each system’s associated risks and the controls used at each stage of the AI lifecycle. Tracking this information helps us to maintain robust governance with safeguards that match each system’s level of risk. - **Scalable AI**\*\*:\*\* By leveraging scalable AI systems alongside human oversight, we allow staff to dedicate their attention to complex and mission-critical tasks. This approach ensures that all decisions and outcomes produced by automation allnd AI system-generated outputs  monitoring and mitigating AI distinct and remain subject to human verification at every stage. - **Ongoing assurance, monitoring and secure environments:** We monitor and manage AI-specific risks and potential harms to including privacy, fairness, transparency and explainability as well as, safety and security of its technology environments  delivering a comprehensive data and AI literacy program to its workforce.. Assurance mechanisms and operation in secure technology environments support this work. - **Workforce capability:** We commit to improve AI and data skills across the department through comprehensive training. All staff must complete the mandatory AI in Government Fundamentals training to ensure we use AI tools responsibly and securely. ## More information If you would like further information, please email [ourdata@homeaffairs.gov.au](mailto:ourdata@homeaffairs.gov.au)

Our own adoption of AI aligns to the Guidance for AI Adoption, which consists of [6 essWe use AI to support staff in their work. We do not use AI to make decisions that affect people or organisations without human oversight. This statement explains how we use AI and the safeguards we have in place. We review this statement at least annually and update it when our use of AI changes. ## Our use of AI We use AI to support staff to work more effectively and efficiently, and to deliver better outcomes. Most departmential practices](https://www.industry.gov.au/node/95254 "Guidance for AI Adoption") for industry to adopt AI responsibly. This includes transparency and accountability practices for developers and deployers of AI systems. The Digital Transformation Agency’s [Policy for the responsible use of AI in government (Version 2.0)](https://www.digital.gov.au/policy/ai/policy) sets the requirements for Australian Government agencies to engage with AI in a safe and responsible way. The policy has mandatory requirements about accountable officials and transparency statements. This statement details our implementation of the policy requirements. ## Governance In January 2024, we formed an AI Governance Commuse supports internal business activities such as drafting, summarising, analysis and information retrieval. Some areas of the department use AI for more technical purposes. For example, Australia’s AI Safety Institute has specialised AI uses it deploys as part of its remit. These include research and testing of frontier AI capabilities in secure environments to inform government on AI capabilities, risks and harms. The department provides advice, delivers programs and makes decisions that can affect people and businesses. Staff remain responsible for decisions and advice. They review AI-generated content before it is used and treat AI outputs as drafts or starting points for further research – not for decision-making. Our approach aligns with the [Guidance for AI Adoption](https://www.ai.gov.au/staying-safe-and-responsible/essential-ai-practices/guidance-ai-adoption-implementation-guidance). This guidance sets out 6 essential practices for safe and responsible AI use. We also align with the Digital Transformation Agency’s [Policy for the responsible use of AI in government (Version 2.0)](https://www.digital.gov.au/policy/ai/policy). Across the department, we use approved AI tools for targeted purposes, including routine business tasks, information analysis and specialist technical work. This helps staff focus on more complex, high-value work. ## Our role in supporting AI adoption in Australia In addition to our internal use of AI, we support the safe and responsible adoption of AI across Australia. This national role is separate from how we use AI in departmental operations. ### National AI Centre (NAIC) The [National AI Centre (NAIC)](https://www.industry.gov.au/science-technology-and-innovation/technology/artificial-intelligence/national-ai-centre) supports practical adoption of AI across Australia’s economy, including businesses, not-for-profits and social enterprises. It provides guidance, tools and resources to help organisations understand where AI can add value and how to use it responsibly. ### Australia’s AI Safety Institutee (AIGC) to have central oversight for AI use in the department. The committee’s members represent a range of perspectives from across the department and have involvement in developing AI policy or projects. The AIGC ensures: - we find ways to use AI to improve efficiency, capability and innovate - appropriate governance of AI use and adherence with relevant legislation, policSI) [Australia’s AI Safety Institute (AISI)](https://www.industry.gov.au/science-technology-and-innovation/technology/artificial-intelligence/ai-safety-institute) researches, analyses and tests the capabilities of frontier AI models and applications, supports regulators and agencies to respond to existing and emerging risks and harms, and shapes safe AI development, deployment and international governance in Australia’s interests. ## Why we use AI We use AI to improve how we deliver policy, information, services and outcomes for Australians. It helps us: - increase efficiency and reduce manual effort - support evidence-based policy and decision making - improve consistency and quality across our work. Our use of AI complements our broader role in supporting Australia’s adoption of AI across industry and the economy. ## How AI supports our work Our current approach focuses on keeping staff in control of AI-assisted work. AI supports tasks such as drafting, summarising, research and analysis, and information retrieval, but staff remain accountable for how they use these outputs. When we use AI: - a person reviews and best practice - opportunities involving the use of AI are considered, safe and responsible - we identify and address all potential AI relavalidates AI-generated content - AI supports, but does not replace, human judgement - staff remain accountable for decisions and advice. Our use of AI aligns with the [Australian Government classification system](https://www.digital.gov.au/policy/ai/resources/use-classification). The system groups AI by: - how it is used (called ‘usage patterns’) - where it is used (called ‘domains’). ### How we use AI In line with the Australian Government classification system, we use AI in the following ways: #### Workplace productivity We use AI to help staff completed risks - appropriate training and usage policies are available. ## AI acoutine tasks and manage information. This includes: - drafting and summarising documents - improving clarity and accessibility of countable official Our Chief Information Officer is the accountable official responsible for carrying out the policy. The AIGC supports the accountable official. ## How we use AI Our approach uses a number of AI tools to deliver efficiencies and augment processes. These help staff focus on more complex and meaningful work. The AIGC maintains visibility of AI use and classifies AI use according to the following [usage pattent - organising and searching information. #### Analytics and insights We use AI to analyse information and generate insights. This includes: - identifying patterns and trends - analysing information to support policy development and advice - highlighting key themes and findings. #### Decision making and administrative action We use AI to support, not replace, human decision making. This includes: - reviewing and summarising information - preparing draft advice or recommendations for human consideration - researching and analysing. These categories describe how we use AI across the department at a high level. Some specialist activities, including frontier AI research, measurement, testing and evaluation by Australia’s AI Safety Institute, may involve more technical uses of AI within these broader categories. ### Where we use AI We use AI across different parts of the department. Some approved AI tools are available across multiple parts of the department. Otherns and domains](https://www.digital.gov.au/policy/ai/resources/use-classification): - **Usage patterns** : supporting human decision-re limited to specific teams, functions or types of work. In line with the Australian Government classification system, we use AI in the following domaking and administrative action, giving insights through analytics and improvings: #### Corporate and enabling We use AI to support internal operations and corporate services. This includes communication, administration and workplaforce productivity so staff can focus on more complex work. - **Domains** : service delivery, compliance and fraud detection, policy and legal, and corporate and enabling domains. We have a policy that guides all staff on: - acceptable use of AI in our department - ethical considerations - freedom of information considerations - record keeping - privacy - roles and responsibilities when using AI. We do not use AI in any instance where the public directly interacts with or feels a significant impact from AI without a human agent. Staff review all AI tool outputs and treat them as drafts or starting points for further research, not for decision-making. ## Australian AI Safety Institute We are responsible for the Australian AI Safety Institute, a key action to achieve the goals set out in the [National AI Plan](https://www.industry.gov.au/publications/national-ai-plan "National AI Plan"). The institute is being established to monitor and test frontier AI technologies and share insights on emerging capabilities and risks. It will support ministers, agencies and regulators to protect people and businesses in relation to AI safety issues by sharing information, connecting relevant bodies and facilitating understanding of emerging AI risks. ## Our commitment We will continuously refine and enhance our AI capabilities. We do this by ensuring centralised oversight and evaluation of AI tools through the AIGC. This statement will evolve to align with technology changes, legislation, policy and governance best practices. We will review at least every 12 months and update it if our AI approach changes, or if anything materially impacts its accuracy. ## More information [Learn more about our corporate governance and integrity controls \_\_](https://www.industry.gov.au/corporate-governance) [Read the Voluntary AI Safety Standard \_\_](https://www.industry.gov.au/publications/voluntary-ai-safety-standard. #### Policy and legal We use AI to support policy analysis, briefing preparation, and advice to government. #### Service delivery We use AI to support the management and delivery of grants, programs and other departmental services. ## Use of AI that affects the public Members of the public do not currently interact directly with our AI systems. We do not use AI to make decisions or take actions that directly affect individuals or businesses without human review. Where we use AI, it: - provides insights to support staff - is reviewed and validated by a person before it informs decisions or advice. We use AI in limited cases to support consultation and engagement processes. For example, AI assists with analysing submissions received through our [Consultation Hub](https://consult.industry.gov.au/), including identifying themes and insights for human review. In these cases: - individuals are informed through the privacy collection statement - consent is obtained before AI is used - a person reviews and validates all outputs - AI supports analysis only and does not make decisions about individuals or businesses. We will update this statement if our use of AI changes, including if AI directly interacts with the public. ## Governance and oversight We have governance arrangements to support the safe and responsible use of AI. These arrangements help us monitor, review and oversee AI use. ### AI Governance Committee Our AI Governance Committee (AIGC) provides central oversight for AI use across the department. The committee is made up of senior departmental executives who: - oversee how we use AI - ensure alignment with legislation, policy and best practice - identify and manage risks - support safe and responsible adoption. ### AI Accountable Official Our Chief Information Officer is the AI Accountable Official. This role implements the [Policy for the responsible use of AI in government (Version 2.0)](https://www.digital.gov.au/policy/ai/policy) and ensures appropriate governance, oversight and risk management. ### Chief AI Officer We have appointed a Chief AI Officer in line with the [APS AI Plan](https://www.digital.gov.au/policy/ai/australian-public-service-ai-plan-2025). This role provides strategic leadership for safe and effective AI adoption. The Chief AI Officer works with the accountable official to support appropriate safeguards. The role is held by the Head of Technology and Digital Policy Division. ## Managing risks and safeguards We assess new uses of AI before they are introduced. This includes considering risks and impacts. AI can produce inaccurate, incomplete or biased information. We manage these risks through governance, staff training and guidance, and human review of AI-generated content. We also consider cyber security, privacy, records management and information access requirements when using AI. This includes our obligations under the [Privacy Act 1988](https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2004A03712/latest/text), [Archives Act 1983](https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2004A02796/latest/text) and [Freedom of Information Act 1982](https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2004A02562/latest/text). ## Monitoring and review We monitor how AI tools are used across the department. This includes whether they continue to meet business needs, staff feedback, and issues that may affect safe and effective use. We review changes to government policy and updates to AI tools. Where needed, we update guidance, safeguards and approved uses of AI. We will update this statement when our use of AI changes. ## Our commitment We are committed to using AI safely, responsibly and transparently. ## More information [Learn more about our corporate governance and integrity controls \_\_](https://www.industry.gov.au/corporate-governance) [Read NAIC's Guidance for AI Adoption \_\_](https://www.ai.gov.au/staying-safe-and-responsible/essential-ai-practices) [Read Australia's AI Ethics Principles \_\_](https://www.industry.gov.au/publications/australias-ai-ethics-principles) ## Contact us \_\_ Email [info@industry.gov.au](mailto:info@industry.gov.au)
