Safe Work Australia’s Approach to AI Adoption and Use
We are committed to exploring the safe and responsible adoption of AI to improve service delivery, policy outcomes and productivity while ensuring public trust is maintained.
Safe Work Australia currently uses AI to:
- support corporate and enabling functions.
- provide analytics for insights where AI identifies, produces or understands insights via comprehensive data analysis, predictive modelling, and/or reporting tools.
- analyse policies and legal documents to support policy development that is consistent with existing laws.
Safe Work Australia has processes in place to ensure our AI use is appropriately governed and our AI access and usage is monitored.
Prior to gaining access to AI, staff must complete mandatory training.
For further information or enquiries about Safe Work Australia’s adoption of AI, you can contact us directly at businessservices@swa.gov.au
This statement will be reviewed annually when we make a significant change to our approach to AI, or when any new factor impacts this statement.
