Navigate the 2025–26 “Year of Accountability” with the Liberate Consulting AI Governance Workshop.
The landscape for Australian Financial Services is shifting. Between the Privacy Act amendments and ASIC’s increasing scrutiny on Automated Decision-Making (ADM), the window for “wait and see” has officially closed.
By December 2026, your privacy policy must explicitly disclose how your ADM systems—like digital advice engines or credit scoring—actually work. If you can’t explain the “why” behind your AI’s “what,” you’re not just looking at a logic error; you’re looking at civil penalties and OAIC infringement notices.
Why This Workshop?
We don’t do “tech-speak.” We do Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). This introductory session is designed for East Coast financial leaders who need to bridge the gap between AI innovation and AFSL obligations.
What We Solve Together
The Challenge | The Liberate Solution
ADM Transparency | We map your automated tools against the new Privacy Act disclosure rules.
AFSL Obligations | We ensure your AI usage meets s912A requirements to act “efficiently, honestly and fairly”.
Explainability Gap | We help you build “Explainable AI” frameworks that satisfy ASIC’s governance expectations.
Risk Mitigation | We identify where ADM might lead to misleading conduct or unfair client treatment.
What You’ll Walk Away With
This isn’t a lecture; it’s a high-impact strategy session. You will receive:
- The AI Discovery Roadmap: A tailored view of your current AI stack and technical readiness.
- The GRC Framework Lite: A baseline for accountability, transparency, and data responsibility.
- ADM Risk Matrix: A tool to categorize your automated decisions by impact and likelihood of regulatory interest.
- A “Plain English” Disclosure Template: Draft language for your privacy policy and client-facing FAQs to meet 2026 requirements.
The Regulatory Reality Check
“Failure to meet these ADM-transparency requirements in the privacy policy can lead to OAIC infringement notices, compliance notices, and exposure to civil penalties.”
ASIC and the OAIC are no longer asking if you use AI—they are asking how you govern it. Whether you use robo-advice, automated underwriting, or credit decision engines, your firm is expected to treat these systems as core components of your risk framework.
Secure Your Spot
Don’t let 2026 catch you off guard. Let’s turn your AI implementation from a compliance headache into a competitive, transparent advantage.
