The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission has highlighted a free online AI course for people working in the nonprofit sector. Plan International Australia is delivering the programme with support from the Australian Council for International Development.

The syllabus goes beyond prompting

The four-session programme covers how AI works, privacy risks, environmental costs, practical tools, prompting techniques and ways to keep knowledge current as systems change.

Training is only the starting control

Completion does not itself create organisational governance. Participants should turn learning into an approved-use policy, rules for sensitive data, a tool review process and named accountability.

Availability should be rechecked

The regulator's notice describes course dates and access as of 17 September. Places, registration requirements and future availability may change.
