For universities, TAFEs, RTOs, and L&D Teams

Adopt AI you can defend, and that's genuinely good for learning

Expert-Grounded AI mark (EGAI badge)

AI is already in your teaching, assessment and administration, and you are accountable for all of it. EGAI gives you an independent standard for what trustworthy AI looks like in Australian education and training, so the tools you bring in are lawful, defensible and good for learners, not just convincing on the surface.

Right now, most providers are quietly exposed

The technology has moved faster than most organisations' policies and governance, and the gap is exactly where the risk sits.

This is not hypothetical. In its 2024 review of NSW universities, the Auditor-General found three of the ten had no formal AI policy and only four had an AI strategy. A year on, little had shifted: three still had no AI policy, only six had an AI strategy, and just two had procurement guidance that accounted for AI's specific risks. Three had not assessed AI risk at all. The Auditor-General's own words were that governance "does not appear to be keeping pace with the rate of adoption". If large universities with whole governance teams are this exposed, leaner RTOs and L&D teams are rarely in better shape.

And the accountability does not sit with the vendor. "It came from a supplier" has never been a defence in this sector. When AI gets it wrong, the cost lands on you: lower completions, reputational damage, lost income, and at the far end, your registration and the certifications you have issued.

Imagine AI you don't have to worry about

Imagine being able to answer the question regulators, auditors and learners are all starting to ask: is this AI safe, and is it good for learning?

This means having a clear standard for what good looks like, a register of where AI is used, and approved use cases you can point to. Your team can stop guessing whether a tool is fit for education. You are equipped to bring AI into your organisation knowing it is lawful and good for learners, and when someone asks how you know, you can show your working.

Teaching well shouldn't require you to become an expert on AI law

You did not take this work on to spend your nights decoding privacy principles and regulator guidance. You are trying to deliver quality education and stay compliant while the ground shifts month to month.

 

That is reasonable, and it is the gap EGAI fills. We bring together two kinds of expertise that almost never sit in the same place:

  • Phill Bevan, for the technology and regulation. 27+ years across hundreds of Australian providers, 100+ platform implementations, and a working command of all nine jurisdictions.

  • Dr Deniese Cox, for the learning. A decade of hands-on research with real educators and adult learners, her expertise drawn on for national research, her learning design framework trusted by universities and TAFEs nationwide. 

One makes your AI defensible. The other makes it genuinely good for learning.

That pairing is the whole point of EGAI.

"This new approach is just what is needed. This approach and the resources that support EGAI are leading the industry in AI adoption. Experience, knowledge, understanding, and absolute heart and passion for the industry are driving this, and I can't recommend it highly enough." AI Strategy & Transformation Leader (August, 2026)

Getting started is simple

1

Get the experts on your side

Coming on board starts with a two-hour scoping session with Deniese and Phill. Not a sales call, a working session that maps where you sit, where your exposure is, and what your learners actually need. From here, you have both of us in your corner.

Receive the full AI Adoption Pack

Not a paper to file away: a 100+ page expert reference that turns a tangle of privacy, education and regulatory obligations into plain answers.

Plus 20+ governance instruments to act on: your AI register, policy, use-case approvals and supplier due diligence, ready to use and kept current every quarter.

Move forward with confidence

With the experts and the tools behind you, you can make AI decisions that stand up to scrutiny, put sensible policies in place, and display the EGAI mark as a signal you have done the work, keeping pace as the landscape shifts.

Stop guessing whether your AI is fit, compliant, and where your risks really are

Every university, TAFE, RTO, and L&D team in the country is being sold AI right now, and most of it comes from suppliers with limited regulatory grounding, limited research basis, and no accountability for what happens to your learners when the product gets it wrong.

 

That leaves you holding the risk in one of the most complex regulatory environments in the world: nine jurisdictions, multiple standards, ASQA and TEQSA expectations, privacy obligations, and real duties to the people you teach.

EGAI exists to close that gap. We are not a software company and we are not here to sell you a tool. We are independent guidance that brings regulatory expertise and research-backed learning design together, so you have one clear standard for what responsible, defensible, genuinely good-for-learning technology and AI looks like in this sector, and the practical resources to act on it.

You may already have a consultant. Most are generalists, which is why EGAI was built for the regulatory and learning realities of Australian education and training.

 

You may be planning to wait until things settle. They will not, and the exposure is now.

 

You may think of this as an IT problem. It is not, it is a governance and quality issue that sits with your leadership.

 

Responsible AI here takes more than good intentions. It takes regulatory grounding, evidence-based practice, and genuine accountability, and that is what you come to EGAI for .

One annual commitment
$2,750 per annum (incl gst)

You receive

  • A two-hour scoping session with Dr Deniese Cox and Phill Bevan, with a short report tailored to your organisation and your AI use

  • The AI Adoption in Australian Education and Training specification paper (100+ pages, updated as regulations evolve)

  • The EGAI AI Adoption Intelligence Pack, including SKILL.md packs that translate the specification paper into structured instructions, prompts, decision rules and quality checks for AI agents, applications and internal build teams.

  • Quarterly regulatory, research and effective-practice updates

  • Preferred access to ongoing expert guidance and implementation support

  • A listing on the EGAI website

  • Use of the EGAI mark as a visible signal of your commitment

 

As your needs grow:

As real AI use cases arise, you can draw on more, scoped to where you are and never bundled into a fee you don't use. The Intentional Learning Framework Specification Papers give you an independent standard for what good learning design looks like, seven papers across the full learner journey, so you can hold any tool or AI product against it before you let it near your learners.

 

Phill Bevan's regulatory specification papers do the same for your obligations.

 

Further Intelligence Packs are rolling out too, adding education-specific AI guardrails for more regulatory topics over time. And consulting or reviews are there whenever you want a second set of expert eyes.
