Information Security requirements

Users must NOT enter or hold CLASSIFIED information into the App.

Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF)

Further information on the Australian Government security classification system is available from Protective Security Policy Framework.

State and Territory government agencies that hold or access Commonwealth security classified information must apply the PSPF to that information consistent with arrangements agreed between the Commonwealth, States and Territories. This is consistent with a Memorandum of Understanding between the Commonwealth and the States and Territories (2007), which is a formal agreement that any national security information held by the parties will be treated according to the PSPF.

Privacy

The App is administered by the Department of Finance (Finance) and hosted on the GovTEAMS platform (GovTEAMS).

Finance collects personal information, including your name and email address, that is necessary to authenticate you as a user of the App and to properly administer the App. Due to the nature of the App, it is not practicable for you to use the App without identifying yourself.

Any personal information that you provide is protected by law, including the Privacy Act 1988. By accepting these Acceptable Use Conditions, you consent to Finance collecting any personal information that you provide.

Finance will not use or disclose the personal information for another purpose without your consent unless required or authorised by law. For more information, please visit our Privacy Policy(Opens in a new tab/window) and the GovTEAMS Privacy Notice(Opens in a new tab/window).

Platform behaviour principles

  • You must use the App for proper purposes: The App is a secure online artificial intelligence (AI) platform for government employees to learn about and interact with AI. You should exercise good judgment when deciding whether to use the App for a particular purpose. For example, it may be reasonable to use the App to upskill and learn more about AI in a government context.
  • You must use the App in accordance with the Australian Public Service (APS) Code of Conduct: If you are a member of the APS, you are bound by the APS Code of Conduct while using the App. Further, non-APS users are expected to act consistently with the APS Code of Conduct.

Other User Obligations

You must notify us if:

  • You encounter any material when using the App which is personal information, confidential information or otherwise classified or protected information;
  • You become aware or suspect that your account details have been compromised;

GovAI Interactive Learning Environment Account

You must:

  • Create only one GovTEAMS account and keep it up to date and active. Keep your account information up to date, including by updating your account's email address if you move from one agency to another. If your account is inactive, it may be suspended or closed by Finance.
  • Use your individual work email address when using the App. The email address used must not be a group mailbox. This is because all usage of the App must be traceable to a single user for auditing purposes.
