AI Transparency Statement

StudyVisaHub exists to put Australian student and skilled visa data in one place, in plain English, so students, providers and stakeholders can find it without digging through a dozen government publications. Artificial intelligence (AI) is part of how we do that. This page explains where AI is used, where it is not, and the limits we hold it to. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

1. The line we hold

The single rule that governs AI use on this site: AI may move a number, it may never make one. AI can help us find a figure in a government publication, read it out of a PDF or spreadsheet, and place it into a table. It is never used to estimate a figure the source did not publish, to fill a gap, to smooth a series, or to project a trend. If a number is not in the source, it does not appear on this site.

• Numbers come from the source, not from a model. Grant rates, occupation lists, fees and nomination data are taken from the published government dataset.
• A human is accountable for everything published here.
• No automated decisions about you. Nothing on this site uses AI to make or influence a decision affecting an individual.
• Your personal information is not fed to AI models.
• If our AI use materially changes, this page changes with it.

2. Where we use AI

• Reading and structuring published data — converting government publications (PDFs, spreadsheets, gazette notices) into the structured tables behind our data pages. This is transcription, not calculation.
• Drafting and editing content — first drafts of explainer pages, article summaries, glossary definitions, and plain-English rewrites of dense government wording. Drafts are edited before publication and factual statements are checked against the primary source.
• Monitoring policy change — flagging updates on Department of Home Affairs, state nomination and regulator pages so a person can assess them.
• Site development — AI coding assistance is used in building and maintaining the site, with changes reviewed and tested before deployment.
• Search, tagging and internal linking — categorising and cross-linking content so related pages surface together.

3. Where we do not use AI

• We do not give AI-generated migration advice. StudyVisaHub is not a Registered Migration Agent and provides general information only. No part of this site assesses your circumstances or tells you what to do about a visa.
• We do not use AI to assess, score, rank or profile individual users — including anyone who contacts us, subscribes, or registers interest.
• We do not generate, estimate or extrapolate statistics. See section 1.
• We do not submit your personal information to AI tools for model training or any other purpose.
• Our legal and policy pages are approved by a person before publication.

4. How we handle accuracy

We want to be straight with you about what our checking does and does not cover. Data pages are verified against the original government publication, and the source and release date are shown on the page so you can check the figure yourself. Where a figure is contested, superseded or subject to revision, we say so.

We do not claim that every sentence on this site has been individually re-read by a person before it went live. The site is large and updates often. What we do claim is that the numbers trace to a named source, the source is shown to you, and corrections are made as soon as we are made aware of an error. Publishing our sources is the check — it lets you verify us, which is stronger than asking you to trust us.

5. Limitations you should know about

AI systems can be wrong, and can be confidently wrong. That is why AI output on this site is treated as a draft, never as a finding, and why we publish our sources: if our page and the government source disagree, the government source is correct and we want to hear about it. Nothing on this site should be relied on for a visa decision without checking the original source and, where it matters, getting advice from a Registered Migration Agent (MARN) or an Australian immigration lawyer.

6. Your data and AI

Information you send us — through a contact form, enquiry, advertising request or newsletter signup — is handled as set out in our Privacy Policy. We do not submit that information to AI tools, and we do not use AI to profile you or make automated decisions about you. Where a third-party service we use (for example analytics or email delivery) applies its own AI features, that provider's terms govern it, and we limit what we send them to what the service needs to work.

7. AI crawlers and our content

Our position on automated access — including AI crawlers and scrapers — is set out in our Terms of Use and in the site's robots directives. Systematic extraction or republication of our content without written permission is not permitted.

8. Questions, corrections and complaints

If you think something on this site is wrong, or you want to know whether AI was involved in a specific page, contact us and tell us which page. We will look at it and correct it if it is wrong.
