Public sector
Procurement appetite reshaping demand
Why now
The ACT is a single-city market, weighted to government and public administration, defence and national security, cyber, and professional and consulting services. Agencies and the firms that serve them are actively buying AI and automation capability, and a strong appetite for that procurement is reshaping demand across the territory.
Here, the constraint is rarely appetite for AI. It is meeting the security and governance bar that public-sector work demands. Applied carefully and governed from day one, AI takes administrative load down without adding risk.
Across the state
Five sectors carry the ACT's economy, each built around process, compliance and public accountability.
Government and public administration
Agencies carrying case management, reporting and compliance work at scale.
Defence and national security
Programs and contractors carrying long-horizon compliance and reporting obligations.
Cyber and technology
Providers where governance and security requirements are as important as the product itself.
Professional and consulting services
Firms serving government clients, where compliance and reporting load compete with billable work.
Research and education
Institutions carrying grant, compliance and reporting obligations alongside teaching and research.
Locations
The ACT is a single-city market, and Canberra carries it. Here is where and how we work there.
How we work
We start small and measurable. Nothing goes live until it earns its place, and everything we build is auditable and reversible.
01
Discovery
A short, structured engagement to map your workflows, quantify the load and identify where AI returns the most for the least risk.
02
Proof
We build one defined use case, measure the outcome against a baseline, and confirm the numbers before going further.
03
Scale
What works is extended across the business under clear governance, with logging, human oversight and Australian-hosted data throughout.
Why Sunburnt AI
Australian data sovereignty
Your data is hosted and processed in Australia. Read-only by default, action-logged, and built to meet local privacy and sector obligations.
Practical, not theoretical
We solve real operational problems and prove the return before we scale. No science projects, no tools that never make it into the business.
Governed by design
Every system is auditable and reversible, with human oversight built in. Governance is part of the build, not an afterthought.
On the ground in Queensland
Brisbane-based and delivering across the state, from the south-east corner to the resources centres of the north and west.
