Services Australia submitted documents to the Attorney-General's Department regarding the Automated Decision-Making Review, focusing on automation governance and assurance frameworks. The released materials include an Automation Assurance Checklist and Risk Assessment template developed by the Attorney-General's Department's Automation and Artificial Intelligence Branch (AAIB). The checklist outlines a three-phase assurance process requiring mandatory governance checkpoints for initiatives involving automation or artificial intelligence components. Key requirements include completion of a preliminary Automation Risk Assessment (categorised as Low, Medium, or High risk), obtaining legal advice through formal Public Law Advice Request procedures, and conducting Privacy Threshold Assessments that may trigger full Privacy Impact Assessments or Privacy Assurance Advice. The document establishes the AAIB Assurance team's role in reviewing and validating assurance artefacts to ensure automation occurs safely, ethically, and legally.
