Free Download: AI Usage Policy Template for Australian Employers
Humaneer -
One of the most practical steps an organisation can take right now is establishing a clear, written AI usage policy. Not because AI is dangerous - but because clarity protects your people, your organisation and the quality of AI-assisted work. Without agreed guidelines, individuals make their own calls about what data to share with AI tools, how to attribute AI-generated outputs and where human oversight is required. That ambiguity creates real risk.
Humaneer - co-founder of HiAi Institute™ - has created a free, editable AI usage policy template designed specifically for Australian employers. Built by HR leaders who work with AI every day, it gives you a practical starting point rather than a blank page. The template covers the key areas your policy needs to address: appropriate use cases, data privacy and confidentiality, attribution and transparency, human oversight requirements, and employee responsibilities.
It is designed to be adapted, not adopted wholesale. Every organisation's context is different - your industry, your risk profile, your culture and your current AI maturity will all shape what your policy should say. This template gives you the structure and language to work from, so your team can spend time on the decisions that matter rather than starting from scratch.
The template is free to download and requires brief registration on the Humaneer website.
