Canberra · ACT
AI consulting engagements scoped from Canberra, designed around the city's specific industry mix, regulatory environment, and on-site engagement realities.
Canberra's AI consulting market is shaped by federal agency procurement and the Digital Transformation Agency's AI policy environment. Engagements here typically run through APS panels (BuyICT, Digital Marketplace, or department-specific panels), have a documentation overhead disproportionate to the build effort, and require explicit alignment to the DTA AI in Government Policy and the Australian Government AI Assurance Framework. Our Canberra work reflects that: AI governance reviews tailored to APS adoption, generative-AI pilots scoped to satisfy departmental security review processes (ISM, PSPF), and the kind of plain-English AI documentation that survives a Senate Estimates question. We also do work with research-intensive organisations (CSIRO, ANU adjacent) where the AI brief is methodological more than commercial. We come on-site for stakeholder workshops; ongoing delivery is hybrid with regular cleared-environment work where relevant.
Local context
Active local AI community: ACS Canberra branch, GovHack Canberra, ANU's Computational Sciences cluster, the DTA and Digital Profession's public AI work. CyberSecOps community is overlapping and highly active.

FAQ
Yes. We engage through standard APS procurement panels (Digital Marketplace, department-specific panels). We can also work as a sub-consultant to a larger panel partner if that's the preferred procurement vehicle.
Our cleared-personnel capability is documented separately on request. We engage on classified work through standard arrangements — the engagement scope and personnel details are not appropriate to publish on a marketing site.
Yes. Every AI governance and AI pilot engagement we run for an APS agency maps explicitly to the Voluntary AI Safety Standard's 10 guardrails plus the Australian Government AI Assurance Framework. That alignment is part of the standard delivery documentation.
