About AU Resident Intelligence
Practical guides for Australian residents.
Our Mission
Australian Resident Intelligence exists to make everyday resident life easier. We believe that finding practical information about benefits, savings, services, rights, and government pathways should be simple, trustworthy, and accessible to every Australian resident.
We are not a government agency. We are an independent information product that aggregates, structures, and presents official government information in a clear, actionable format.
Our Principles
- ✓Official Sources Only: We only cite official Australian government sources (gov.au, state government websites, official agencies).
- ✓No Guarantees: We never guarantee eligibility, savings, rebate amounts, or outcomes. We present official criteria and let you check your own eligibility.
- ✓No Personalised Advice: We never provide personalised financial, legal, or tax advice. We provide general information only.
- ✓Always Verified: Important guides include a "last verified" date and link to the official source.
- ✓Resident-First: Every piece of content is structured around resident problems and next actions, not government bureaucracy.

How We Work
AU Resident Intelligence is an independent site built on proven Next.js/Prisma architecture. This means:
- All content is database-driven, not hardcoded
- The architecture is reusable for other independent sites
- All content defaults to DRAFT - never auto-published
- Official sources are the authority; we never invent facts
- External research tools are used OUTSIDE the codebase, then fed in via import pipeline
We do NOT use AI to generate factual content. AI may assist with formatting and structure, but all factual claims come from official sources.
