Consultation on the draft Artificial Intelligence (AI) Guidance for Health Services
We are seeking feedback on the draft Artificial Intelligence (AI) Guidance for Health Services.
Public consultation open
The Guidance outlines key considerations for a health service in the adoption, use and governance of AI. It will support health services to build trust among clinicians and consumers, promote transparency and informed consent, and implement risk-based decision-making that is informed by evidence.
The Guidance will also support the implementation of the third edition of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards.
Get involved
To participate, complete the online survey for the draft Guidance or email a written submission to ACSQHCdigitalhealth@safetyandquality.gov.au
Your feedback will assist in shaping the final Guidance, planned for publication in 2027.
Public consultation is open from Thursday 5 November and closes on Monday 30 November 2026.
We encourage you to review the Guidance before providing feedback.
We welcome feedback from health service leaders (including chief executive officers, executive directors and senior managers), health professionals and consumers.
Next steps
Following the consultation, we will:
- Review and analyse the survey feedback
- Use the feedback to update and finalise the Guidelines
- Publish the final Guidelines in 2027.
