What it is: Several Australian universities are collaborating with OpenAI to give students and staff access to ChatGPT Edu and other AI tools. This initiative aims to prepare students for an AI-enabled workforce by integrating these tools into their courses.
How it works: Universities are rolling out ChatGPT Edu to students and staff, creating AI-focused degrees, and using AI for practical simulations. They are also establishing guidelines to define when students can use AI and when they must rely on their own skills.
Where it is available: This applies to students and staff at Australian universities, including UNSW Sydney, University of Sydney, La Trobe University, and Adelaide University.
Example: Paramedicine students at La Trobe University use ChatGPT to practice making decisions during simulated medical emergencies, such as assessing a heart attack.

What it is: OpenAI is collaborating with Australian universities to integrate tools like ChatGPT Edu, Codex, and APIs into their academic programs and operations.
How it works: Institutions are deploying ChatGPT Edu, utilizing Codex for systems development, and using OpenAI Daybreak Blue for cybersecurity. They are also implementing structured frameworks like "Can, Can't, Must" to manage AI use in student assessments.
Where it is available: The deployment is happening across Australian higher education institutions, including UNSW Sydney, University of Sydney, La Trobe University, and Adelaide University, with rollouts continuing into 2027.
Example: Adelaide University uses OpenAI Daybreak Blue to perform defensive cybersecurity tasks, including secure code review, vulnerability discovery, and malware analysis.
