Three interactive tools to help you on your AI implementation journey, aligned to Australia's AI 6 voluntary framework. Find out where your organisation is on AI adoption maturity, where to start, and how the AI 6 maps to the standards you already use.
Use them in order or jump straight to the one you need. All three are free, work entirely in your browser, and require no sign-up.
Rate your organisation against all six practices and receive an overall maturity score with a tailored narrative interpretation. The most popular starting point.
Answer six questions about your context and get a prioritised 90-day roadmap showing which practices to tackle first, second and later.
See how the AI 6 maps to NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, ISO 27001, EU AI Act, APRA CPS 230 and the Privacy Act. Useful if you already operate to one of these.
The AI 6 is the short name for the six essential practices set out in Guidance for AI Adoption, published by Australia's National AI Centre in October 2025. It is the federal government's primary reference for how organisations should govern and adopt AI responsibly — covering accountability, impact assessment, risk management, transparency, testing and human control.
It exists because earlier guidance (the Voluntary AI Safety Standard, with ten guardrails) needed to be more navigable and cover both organisations that deploy AI and organisations that develop it. The National AI Centre worked with industry and CSIRO's Data61 to condense the ten guardrails into six clearer practices that align with Australia's eight AI Ethics Principles, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001.
It is voluntary, but voluntary in the same way the ACSC Essential Eight is voluntary — increasingly the de facto standard of care that boards, regulators, auditors, large customers and investors expect to see. The National AI Plan (December 2025) confirms Australia will rely on existing laws plus the AI 6 in the near term rather than introducing a standalone AI Act. The framework is designed to scale: a five-person team can adopt it as easily as a large enterprise, with the depth of implementation rising with the stakes involved.
The AI 6 condenses ten earlier guardrails into a navigable framework. Open each practice to see what good looks like, where organisations go wrong, and how mature you are today. Your maturity profile builds as you work through the six.
Description of where you are.
Guvn.ai is the platform that turns this self-assessment into a continuously evidenced, audit-ready AI governance programme — built on the AI 6 as its foundation.
The AI 6 was designed to overlay existing frameworks, not replace them. Here's a preview of how each practice maps. Control-level depth and evidence reuse live on the Guvn.ai platform.
Guvn.ai uses the AI 6 as the foundation of responsible AI adoption. Bring your AI estate, your controls and your evidence into a single platform that maps to AI 6 and crosswalks to the global standards your auditors, investors and customers already know.
