What Australia National AI Plan 2025 and Voluntary AI Safety Standard - DISR Technology-Neutral Approach, Unveiled 2 December 2025 requires
Organisations adopting AI in or affecting Australia should align with the National AI Plan 2025 unveiled by the Australian Government on 2 December 2025, coordinated by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DISR) as the central policy coordinator and lead steward for the whole-of-economy AI strategy, recognising that the Government has officially abandoned the proposed mandatory guardrails and will instead build on Australia's existing technology-neutral laws while introducing targeted reforms, and adopt the Voluntary AI Safety Standard (VAISS) published by the National Artificial Intelligence Centre (NAIC) in 2024 which outlines 10 key guardrails for organisations across the AI supply chain on safe and responsible AI adoption.
