About / Corporate Governance
Built on accountability.
Guided by ethics.
Airfree Group holds itself to the highest standards of corporate conduct — because the technology we build underpins critical infrastructure, sensitive land records, and decisions that affect communities. Governance is not a compliance exercise here; it is how we earn the right to operate.
Group Structure
Legal entity structure
Airfree Services Pty Ltd owns all intellectual property, brand rights, and shared infrastructure — licensed to the operating companies — while the parent holding company, Airfree Holdings Pty Ltd, owns the group’s equity. This structure protects customers, clarifies liability, and enables company-level governance.

Framework
Four pillars of governance
Board Oversight
The Airfree Group board maintains independent oversight of strategic direction, capital allocation, risk appetite, and executive accountability. Board committees meet quarterly with full access to audit, compliance, and operational reporting.
Risk Management
A structured enterprise risk framework spans operational, financial, cyber, and reputational risk. Each subsidiary maintains a risk register reviewed at group level, with escalation protocols and mandatory incident reporting within 24 hours.
Data Ethics
Our Data Ethics Council — drawn from engineering, legal, and independent advisors — reviews all data products and AI systems prior to deployment. Ethics assessments are mandatory for any system that processes personal or sensitive geospatial data.
Regulatory Compliance
Airfree operates across multiple jurisdictions and maintains active compliance programmes for Australian and international frameworks. Dedicated compliance officers sit within each subsidiary with reporting lines to group legal.
Policies
Governing policies
Our policy suite covers the full lifecycle of data, AI, supplier relationships, and internal conduct. Policies are reviewed annually and updated to reflect legislative changes or material operational shifts.
Privacy Policy
Governs collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information across all Airfree products and services, aligned to the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and GDPR.
Data Governance Framework
Defines data ownership, classification, retention, and access control standards across group entities. Includes lineage requirements for geospatial and satellite-derived datasets.
AI Ethics Policy
Establishes principles and review criteria for the development and deployment of machine learning and AI systems — including fairness assessments, model explainability standards, and human oversight requirements.
Supplier Code of Conduct
Sets minimum standards for labour practices, environmental responsibility, data handling, and anti-corruption compliance expected of all Airfree suppliers and third-party partners.
Whistleblower Policy
Provides protected, confidential channels for employees, contractors, and third parties to report concerns about misconduct, fraud, or ethical breaches, consistent with the Corporations Act 2001.
Compliance
Security & compliance roadmap
We are working toward independent certification across information security and government assurance frameworks, and align to privacy regulations by design. Current status for each is shown below and can be confirmed on request.
Responsible AI
Ethics in artificial intelligence
Airfree builds AI systems that process satellite imagery, land records, and location data for governments and regulated enterprises. The stakes are high. Our responsible AI programme operationalises four principles across every system we ship.
Fairness
AI systems are evaluated for bias across protected attributes before deployment. Ongoing monitoring flags distributional drift that could introduce or amplify disparate outcomes.
Transparency
Model decisions affecting individuals or public outcomes include accessible explanations. We publish model cards for externally deployed AI systems.
Accountability
Clear ownership is assigned to every AI system in production. An audit trail records training data provenance, version history, and approval sign-offs.
Privacy by Design
Privacy controls are built into AI systems from the design stage — not retrofitted. Data minimisation, purpose limitation, and on-device processing are preferred over centralised collection.
