Queensland Health Artificial Intelligence Framework for DPOs

What does Queensland Health Artificial Intelligence Framework require of a DPO?

Queensland Health's statewide framework for artificial intelligence: governance requirements under ISO/IEC 38507 and a structured AI risk assessment, scaled governance between Hospital and Health Services and the Department, clinical governance and TGA requirements, consumer representation, defined roles and an AI Oversight Committee, guiding principles built on the quintuple aim and Australia's AI ethics principles, and a six-stage gated lifecycle from problem identification and risk assessment through delivery requirements, business case and validation, deployment approval, staged deployment with training and registry, to ongoing monitoring of KPIs, drift and fairness, retraining and controlled discontinuation. Under Queensland Health Artificial Intelligence Framework, which defines 9 controls, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
