Outback Yak is now listed on National AI Centre’s AI Directory

The National AI Centre has launched the AI Directory — a platform that makes it easier for Australian businesses to find AI service providers across industries and technologies. Outback Yak is now listed on the directory, and we're proud to be part of this initiative.

What is the AI Directory?

The AI Directory is a new initiative by the National AI Centre, part of the Australian Government's Department of Industry, Science and Resources. It's a curated, searchable directory of organisations with AI capabilities operating in Australia.

If you run a small or medium-sized business, work in government, or lead technology decisions at an established company, the directory gives you a straightforward way to find Australian AI providers — filtered by industry, capability, and technology. No guesswork, no cold outreach into the void.

What this means for Outback Yak

Our team has spent years building AI and software systems for Australian organisations. We've helped an NDIS platform deliver faster, more accurate answers to participants through multi-agent retrieval AI. We've built AI-powered training tools for medical professionals. We've migrated cloud infrastructure that saved clients over $100,000 a year.

Being listed on the AI Directory puts that track record in front of a wider audience. It places us alongside other practitioners and innovators contributing to a stronger AI ecosystem in Australia — and makes it easier for businesses and government agencies to find us when they need practical, well-built AI solutions.

How we think about AI

We don't treat AI as a product to sell. We treat it as a tool that needs to earn its place in your workflow. That means we start by understanding the problem before recommending the technology. Sometimes the answer is a language model. Sometimes it's a well-designed integration. Sometimes it's both.

The AI Directory supports the responsible use and growth of AI in Australia, and that lines up with how we've always worked. We build systems that are grounded in real business needs, tested against real usage, and designed to be maintained long after we hand them over.

Explore the directory

If you're an Australian business looking at how AI could support your operations, the directory is worth a look. Browse providers by industry and capability, and see who's doing what across the country.
