AI governance for SA councils.

Sentinel for SA's 68 councils, aligned to the Information Sharing Guidelines (SA), the FOI Act 1991 (SA), and the State Records Act 1997 (SA).

The pressure

SA councils, audit-ready governance.

South Australia's Information Sharing Guidelines, FOI Act, and State Records Act all apply to AI use today. The SA Ombudsman has signalled growing scrutiny of automated decision-making across the public sector.

Frameworks pre-loaded

Every framework SA 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.
