For Australian businesses
Australia has its own AI regulations — and the EU AI Act may apply to you too.
Australian AI safety expectations are developing quickly. If you serve people in Europe, EU AI Act and GDPR requirements may apply alongside them.

Australia's Voluntary AI Safety Standard sets out practical guardrails for accountable and safe AI use, including ownership, risk management, testing, transparency, human oversight, and record keeping.
The government continues to develop its approach to mandatory safeguards for higher-risk AI. Building the standard's guardrails now gives your business evidence it can reuse as the framework evolves.
The EU AI Act can reach Australia
An Australian company can fall within the EU AI Act when it places an AI system on the EU market or when output from its AI is used in the EU. Your Australian incorporation and server location do not remove those activities from scope.
EU-facing chatbots, automated emails, hiring tools, recommendations, and AI-assisted decisions should all be checked against the Act's transparency and risk requirements.
GDPR may apply as well
If you offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor their behaviour, EU GDPR may apply to the personal data involved. AI projects frequently bring AI Act and GDPR duties together.
A joined-up review helps you reuse data records, risk assessments, notices, supplier checks, and human oversight evidence across both frameworks.
