Australia Voluntary AI Safety Standard
Australia's voluntary AI safety guardrails.
Australia's Voluntary AI Safety Standard sets out ten guardrails for the safe and responsible use of AI — spanning accountability, risk management, data governance, testing, human oversight, transparency, contestability, supply-chain transparency, record-keeping, and stakeholder engagement — with mandatory guardrails proposed for high-risk settings.
Who it applies to
Australian organizations deploying AI; a voluntary baseline that anticipates mandatory high-risk rules.
Key obligations
- Establish accountability and an AI risk-management process
- Govern data and test systems before and during use
- Enable human oversight and contestability
- Keep records and disclose AI supply-chain information
How Maetra maps agents to Australia AI Safety
Maetra maps directly to the guardrails: accountability and records via Audit, risk management and data governance via Comply, and human oversight via Govern.
In practice, Maetra:
- Scans and fingerprints each agent. Discover reads the agent’s code — its tools, data access and sensitivity, actions, model, and environment — into an evidence-backed profile tied to the exact file and commit.
- Decides what applies. That profile determines whether Australia AI Safety is in scope for the agent and which of its requirements apply.
- Auto-detects controls and surfaces gaps. Controls your code already satisfies are detected automatically from the scan; the rest become a clear list of gaps, each tied to the requirement and the evidence it still needs.
- Proves it and keeps it current. Close gaps with linked evidence or generated documents — reused across every framework the same control supports — and Maetra re-checks on each rescan and flags evidence that has gone stale.
