AI Governance and Acceptable Use Policy page detailing purpose, scope, and accountability

About this Document

Use this pack if you:
  • Are introducing or already using workplace AI tools such as generative AI, productivity assistants, chatbots, transcription tools, coding assistants, analytics or recommendation systems
  • Need a governance policy plus the forms and registers to implement it consistently
  • Want to classify and approve each AI use case, including permitted inputs, human review and risk level, before deployment
  • Need to document AI systems, approved tools, supplier due diligence, incidents and near misses
  • Are preparing for the Australian privacy, employment, consumer, intellectual property and sector-specific obligations that apply to AI use
It is suited to:
  • Australian private-sector organisations adopting workplace AI tools and systems
  • Organisations using commercially available generative AI, productivity assistants, chatbots, transcription tools, coding assistants, analytics or recommendation systems
  • Governance, risk, legal, privacy, security, HR and procurement roles responsible for AI oversight
  • Organisations that want to embed AI governance alongside their privacy and risk frameworks
What this pack covers:
  • Part A implementation instructions and a legal alignment table referencing the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), Australian Consumer Law, sector-specific laws and the Australian Government’s Guidance for AI Adoption
  • Part B AI Governance and Acceptable Use Policy, from responsible AI principles through governance, risk classification, permitted and prohibited conduct, privacy, security, human review, fairness, transparency, intellectual property, procurement, testing, incidents and training
  • AI use-case triage and approval forms with low-risk, enhanced-risk and prohibited classifications and recorded decisions
  • AI impact and risk assessment, AI system register and approved AI tools register
  • AI output verification checklist, incident and near-miss report, and transparency wording examples
  • AI supplier due diligence checklist, staff acknowledgement and document control
You receive an editable Word document with highlighted fields for your organisation name, jurisdiction, policy owner, approval authority and dates, plus ten schedules you can populate and adapt. It is a practical, lawyer-drafted starting point for AI governance; complex, high-risk or heavily regulated AI uses may still warrant tailored legal, privacy and technical advice.

How To Use This Template

This template is a starting point, not a final document. It’s been drafted by Australian lawyers to be practical and flexible, but it still needs to be reviewed and tailored for your specific business, transaction and risk profile.

Before you use it, you should:

  • Complete all placeholders, bracketed items and optional fields;
  • Remove any drafting notes or clauses that aren’t relevant to your situation; and
  • Check that party names, entity details, dates, addresses, contact details and defined terms are accurate.

Make sure the template is consistent with your other documents and obligations – including any existing contracts, policies, procedures, website terms, privacy disclosures, regulatory requirements or internal governance documents. If anything conflicts, it should be resolved before you sign, issue, adopt or implement the document.

If you are using the template as an agreement, it should be reviewed and signed by all relevant parties in accordance with applicable law and your internal signing requirements. If you are using it as a policy, procedure, notice or compliance record, it should be approved and stored under your organisation’s normal document control processes.

This template is provided as general information only and is not legal advice. Complex, high‑value, highly regulated or cross‑border matters will usually require bespoke drafting. For anything outside a straightforward use case, we strongly recommend obtaining legal advice before relying on, signing or implementing this document.
