This is a draft document for Australian Government agencies participating in the Pilot Australian Government artificial intelligence (AI) assurance framework, led by the Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) from September to November 2024. Further practical advice on applying the framework is contained in accompanying guidance material.  

The assurance framework’s impact assessment process is divided into 11 sections. The accompanying guidance document mirrors this structure, with each of its 11 sections corresponding to a section of the assurance framework.

The draft framework and guidance are subject to change based on feedback from pilot participants and other stakeholders. This pilot draft does not represent a final Australian Government position on AI assurance.
