AI governance for Queensland councils.

Sentinel for Queensland's 77 councils, aligned to the Queensland Generative AI Guidelines and IP Act 2009 (Qld) obligations.

The pressure

Queensland councils operate under guidance — until they don't.

The Queensland Generative AI Guidelines were issued for the QPS and increasingly adopted by councils. The IP Act 2009, RTI Act 2009, and Human Rights Act 2019 already apply to AI use — and as state Auditor-General scrutiny grows, the gap between guidance and enforcement narrows fast.

Frameworks pre-loaded

Every framework QLD cares about — encoded as data, cross-mapped on day one.

The Sentinel Framework Engine ships with these frameworks as machine-readable data, with explicit cross-maps. When you assess a use case, the workpaper, the review pack, and the auditor evidence trail are generated from this library — not authored from scratch.
