Our services
Independent AI governance readiness and risk assessment informed by Australia's AI Ethics Principles.
How organisations typically engage with us
Governance Review
Understand current risks and gaps
Governance Improvement
Address gaps through internal teams or independent advisers
Maturity Verification
Demonstrate governance readiness to stakeholders
Most organisations begin with a governance review. Formal assessment is pursued when external governance verification is required.
AI governance maturity assessment
Best suited for: Organisations seeking clarity on current AI risk exposure
Independent, evidence-based assessment of your organisational AI governance arrangements, including accountability, risk integration, policy and control alignment, oversight mechanisms, and independent review. Assessment evaluates governance oversight and control structures rather than technical system performance. The assessment is limited to governance maturity and does not evaluate AI model performance or provide implementation advice.

Learn about assessment levelsGovernance uplift roadmap
Best suited for: Organisations addressing identified governance gaps or building maturity
Following assessment, AIGC identifies governance gaps and maturity constraints in the assessment report. Organisations receive a structured uplift roadmap and may choose to address gaps through their internal teams or independent advisers. AIGC does not provide implementation consulting to organisations it assesses.

Annual reassessments
Governance assessments are valid for twelve months. Annual reassessment ensures your governance practices remain consistent with AIGC governance criteria and evolving governance expectations.
Regular reviews adapt to evolving practices, changing systems, and emerging governance expectations.
Update reviews
Material changes to assessed AI systems require update reviews to maintain assessment validity. This ensures governance oversight keeps pace with system evolution.
Significant changes to functionality, data usage, or deployment context trigger update assessment requirements.
Assessment reference framework
AIGC's framework references Australia's AI Ethics Principles, developed to guide responsible AI development and deployment:
Human, societal and environmental wellbeing
Human-centred values
Fairness
Privacy protection and security
Reliability and safety
Transparency and explainability
Contestability
Accountability
Documentation and transparency
Our assessment process emphasises comprehensive documentation and transparent evaluation. Organisations undergoing assessment receive detailed reports outlining:
- Specific findings from the governance review
- Assessment against AIGC governance criteria and referenced ethical principles
- Identified strengths in current practices
- Areas requiring attention or improvement
- Practical recommendations for enhancement
- Clear rationale for assessment outcomes and maturity ratings
This documentation supports organisational learning, continuous improvement, and transparent communication with stakeholders about AI governance maturity.
