Australia's automated systems deny rights with no human review
Australia has no human rights act. Algorithms make decisions on benefits and care with no legal oversight.
Artificial intelligence and automated systems decide which Australians get public support. The country has no laws requiring transparency.
People have no right to challenge these decisions. The government proposed a digital duty of care to limit social media algorithms.
It does not protect people in essential services. An automated assessment tool decides who gets aged care.
It makes wrong decisions with no human review. Parliamentary committees, petitions, and Victoria, Queensland and the ACT have called for a national human rights act.
Without one, Australia has no legal protection. Algorithms quietly ration access to care and benefits.
Why it mattersIf an algorithm denies you aged care or welfare support, you have no legal right to understand why. You cannot request human review.
AustraliaEvery Australian who relies on government services-aged care, disability support, welfare-can be denied by an algorithmic decision they cannot challenge or appeal.
