AI governance for WA councils.

Sentinel for WA's 137 local governments. WA established an AI Advisory Board to shape state-government AI use; council adoption follows.

The pressure

WA's AI advisory architecture is taking shape — councils need governance now.

The WA Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board is shaping state-government AI policy. The State Records Office, OIC, and existing FOI Act all apply to council AI use today. Getting governance in place before the state policy lands means councils respond from a position of strength.

Frameworks pre-loaded

Every framework WA 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.
