Every NSW Government agency that designs, builds, buys or uses AI must put it through the NSW AI Assessment Framework. VALUE-AI doesn't replace it — it makes completing it fast, evidenced and defensible. Three micro tools, included with a free account.
Member micro tools
A funnel for agency teams and their suppliers: find out whether the obligation applies, see how ready you are, then assemble the evidence — before you open the official spreadsheet.
Independent preparation tools built by LyboAI on the VALUE-AI method. Not affiliated with, endorsed or approved by the NSW Government; no content from the official framework is reproduced. Indicative only — completing these tools does not satisfy any official obligation. Nothing you enter leaves your browser. Authoritative source: NSW AI Assessment Framework — Digital NSW.
Why VALUE-AI
A team that has run a VALUE-AI assessment arrives at the official framework with the hard questions already answered. The mapping is thematic — VALUE-AI is an independent method, not a reproduction of the official instrument.
The V pillar and the A2 alternative-solution test — VALUE-AI recommends non-AI fixes when they solve the problem better, and treats “stop” as a valid outcome.
A3 data readiness probes currency and representativeness; L1 probes the outputs that look right but aren't.
L2: data sensitivity, lawful basis, privacy analysis prompts and least-privilege access.
L1 explainability, L3 audit-trail planning, and a published scoring rubric so any result can be independently reconstructed.
L3 named owner with approval gates; L4 defined human-in-the-loop model with override and escalation.
A separate risk axis with hard-stop overrides — risk can veto value, regardless of score.
Beyond NSW
Australia has chosen existing law plus voluntary guidance over AI-specific legislation — so the assurance duty sits with boards and agencies. The instruments below share one risk-based pattern; prepare once with VALUE-AI and the evidence carries across all of them.

Privacy policies must disclose automated decisions that significantly affect individuals. A disclosure with no evidence behind it invites scrutiny — the VALUE-AI evidence pack is the substance behind the paragraph.
Commonwealth, states & territories
The intergovernmental approach to assuring AI in government — the same risk-based, lifecycle pattern the NSW instrument applies. Preparation for one prepares you for the family.
All NSW Government agencies · mandatory
The mandatory self-assessment this toolset prepares you for — risk levels, assurance activities, register entries and committee escalation for the highest-risk systems.
Voluntary · national baseline
Eight voluntary principles that most Australian assurance instruments build on. VALUE-AI's evidence-first questions give teams concrete answers to the themes the principles raise.
Voluntary · business uplift
Practical national guidance for adopting AI responsibly. Australia currently relies on existing law plus voluntary guidance rather than AI-specific legislation — which puts the assurance duty on boards and agencies themselves.
Official sources linked; summaries are LyboAI's own one-line descriptions. VALUE-AI does not reproduce, replace or satisfy any of these instruments.
The micro tools tell you where you stand. The full VALUE-AI assessment — five pillars, sixteen dimensions, risk tiering and a defensible scored report — produces the evidence pack your assessment, committee and register need.
