In June 2025, Australian government officials from the Department of Home Affairs, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Department of Industry Science and Resources, and the Prime Minister and Cabinet coordinated to meet with OpenAI's Chief Strategy Officer during their visit to Australia for the AFR Summit. OpenAI was preparing an Economic Blueprint for Australia—only the third such blueprint after the US and EU—and sought to negotiate with the Australian Government regarding their operational presence and AI development opportunities. Officials noted they had no mandate to negotiate but were continuing to brief interested ministers on AI and data centre opportunities. The Department of Industry, Science and Resources coordinated the meeting scheduled for June 3, 2025, and sought attendance from Home Affairs and DFAT representatives to ensure a coordinated whole-of-government approach to discussions about Australia's AI strategy and potential arrangements with OpenAI.
