Quillio for government legal teams
Government legal teams — in Commonwealth departments, state government agencies, and local councils — use Quillio for legal research, policy advice preparation, FOI compliance, legislative drafting support, and administrative law advice. Government teams have specific requirements: Australian data residency (non-negotiable for most agencies), compatibility with government IT security frameworks, and the ability to handle administrative law, public law, and statutory interpretation alongside general legal work.
Government-specific use cases
Legal research for ministerial briefs and policy advice. Statutory interpretation — analysing how legislation applies to specific factual scenarios. FOI request processing — reviewing documents for exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) or state equivalents. Administrative law — reviewing decisions for legal risk before they are made (proactive compliance). Legislative drafting support — reviewing exposure drafts and providing commentary on drafting issues.
Security and data residency
Government agencies typically require: Australian data residency (data processed and stored in Australia); compliance with the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) or equivalent state frameworks; encryption in transit and at rest; access controls and audit logging; and no use of government data for model training. Quillio meets all of these requirements.
How government teams get started
Government procurement typically follows a panel or quotation process. Quillio can be procured through standard government procurement channels. We work with government IT and security teams to complete security assessments (IRAP, ISM compliance) and configure the platform to meet agency-specific requirements. Deployment is typically to the agency's approved cloud environment.
Common issues
- Government procurement cycles are longer than private sector — plan 3–6 months for security assessment and procurement
- Some agencies require IRAP assessment at PROTECTED level — discuss your security requirements with us early
- Government data must not be used for model training — Quillio does not use client data for training
