## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Deployment | SaaS |
| Hosting regions | Unknown |
| Australian region | Unknown |
| Training on customer content | Unknown |
| Retention | The FAQ states 'The Q&A tool does not retain or store personal data from your session. All interactions are private and temporary', and that the search bar stores a history of clicked results in the user's browser which 'can be deleted at any time' and 'is not stored in our database'. Checked 2026-09-27. No retention period is published for account records, subscription and payment records, support tickets, feedback or any server-side log of Q&A use, and IARC's organisational privacy policy sets no retention period for any category. The platform's own privacy notice was not reached within the research budget. |
| Integrations | AustLII legislation (all plans, per the vendor), AustLII and Jade case-law libraries (Pro plan, per the vendor) |
| Legal content coverage | The publisher states the platform carries the full text of The Immigration Kit, updated from the 10th Edition print textbook, covering 'all areas of Australian immigration and citizenship law', written and reviewed by IARC's immigration lawyers, with each section displaying the date it was last updated. English only; the FAQ states a multilingual resource is hoped for in future. The Q&A tool is stated to draw only on that text and not on external sources. |
| Pricing | Three annual plans published incl. GST: Basic $264 (read-only access to all chapters, basic search, AustLII legislation integration), Pro $330 (Basic plus the AI Q&A tool, 'Explain this', and AustLII and Jade case-law integration) and Student $220 (Basic features at a discounted rate, one-off 12-month term, no auto-renewal, valid USI required). Basic and Pro renew automatically each year. Each user needs their own account and subscription; a shared login is not permitted. Sign-up for 1 to 4 users is self-service; 5 or more users goes through an enquiry form. Published volume discounts: 5-9 users 5%, 10-19 users 10%, 20 or more 'Get in touch'. Payment by credit card, debit card, direct deposit, Link and Apple Pay/Google Pay, with invoices issued automatically. Cancellation is permitted any time before renewal with access to the end of the billing period; upgrades are charged pro rata. No separate price is published for the AI feature on its own. |
| Australian presence | Yes. The publisher is published as 'Immigration Advice and Rights Centre Inc.' on its Charity and Accreditation page, checked 2026-09-27, with charity status via the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (the ACNC register is linked by record identifier, not by ABN) and accreditation through Community Legal Centres Australia. Address published as Suite 3, Level 8, 377-383 Sussex St, Sydney NSW 2000. No ABN or ACN is printed on any page read, and the contracting entity for a subscription is NOT established: the platform's own terms at https://theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/terms were not fetched within the research budget. The platform login footer states '(c) 2026 Immigration Advice and Rights Centre. All rights reserved.' and 'Proudly built by Lext Australia'. Lext is named on the About page and the FAQ as the builder, described there as 'an Australian legal innovation company based in Sydney'; it is not published as a processor and no agreement between IARC and Lext is published. Hosting region, whether Australian data residency is available, and whether inference runs in Australia are all unpublished on every page read - none of these is inferred from the .org.au domain or from the builder's location. |

## What the research found

| Topic | Status | Finding | Open question | Sources |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Product, plans and what sits outside them | Public claim only | Three annual plans are published on the Subscriptions page, checked 2026-09-27: Basic $264 incl. GST a year (read-only access to all chapters, basic search, AustLII legislation integration), Pro $330 (Basic plus 'Q&A with The Kit', the 'Explain this' feature and integration with AustLII and Jade case-law libraries) and Student $220 (Basic features at a discounted rate). The FAQ states Basic and Pro are billed annually and renew automatically, while Student is a one-off 12-month subscription that does not auto-renew and requires a valid USI. The AI feature sits on the Pro plan only; on the publisher's own description the Basic and Student plans carry text and search with no AI feature. | Which plan will our subscribers be on, and is there an organisation agreement for 5 or more users that differs from the self-service sign-up in what it covers? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Subscriptions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/subscriptions/) |
| Release stage and product history | Public claim only | The About page describes the platform as 'a new interactive online platform' and the FAQ states the resource 'has been around for more than 30 years - starting as a binder of information, becoming a textbook, and now transforming into a digital resource in 2026', built from The Immigration Kit 10th Edition textbook. Checked 2026-09-27. No beta, general-availability or version label is published for the digital platform, and no release-notes page was found on the pages read. | Is the Pro-plan Q&A tool in general release or still being trialled, and where are its changes published? | [About The Immigration Kit (IARC)](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/about/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Deployment model and hosting | Public claim only | The FAQ states the platform is reached 'online through any web browser on your computer, tablet or phone' at theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au, that it is 'a live online tool' with no offline availability, and that an internet connection is required for full functionality. Checked 2026-09-27. No hosting location, cloud provider, region or data-centre statement appears on any page read, and the platform's own terms and privacy notice were not reached within the credit budget, so the hosting region is recorded as unknown rather than assumed to be Australian. | Which cloud provider and region host the platform, the text and the Q&A index, and is Australian data residency available or contracted? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit platform login page (footer)](https://theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/) |
| What the product does | Public claim only | On the publisher's own pages, checked 2026-09-27: the full text of The Immigration Kit on Australian immigration and citizenship law is presented chapter by chapter with a per-section 'last updated' date; all plans include a search bar and integration with AustLII legislation; the Pro plan adds 'Q&A with The Kit - our interactive AI-powered tool: type your questions and get plain English answers drawn only from the expert legal text written by IARC's immigration lawyers, fully sourced', an 'Explain this' feature where the user highlights a word or sentence, clicks Explain and the Q&A tool states what it means, and integration with AustLII and Jade case-law libraries. Display preferences (light and dark mode, font size, content width) are published. | Which features are counted as part of the Pro plan for the whole subscription term, and how would we be told if one were withdrawn? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Subscriptions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/subscriptions/) |
| Who the publisher says it is for | Public claim only | The About page lists the intended audience as lawyers and migration agents, community, social and frontline workers, public sector staff, educators and university staff, students, visa holders and people navigating migration law issues, anyone supporting visa holders, and decision makers and policy professionals, and states it is also designed as a resource for organisations including law firms, government departments and agencies, community legal centres, universities, libraries and non-profits. Checked 2026-09-27. The FAQ states it can be used without legal training. | Where the same subscription is used by both practitioners and members of the public, does the publisher place any different conditions on use by each group? | [About The Immigration Kit (IARC)](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/about/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Legal content and jurisdiction covered | Public claim only | The About page states the content covers 'all areas of Australian immigration and citizenship law' and that 'All content is written and reviewed by IARC's immigration law experts, providing clear context and interpretation of legislation and policy'. The FAQ states every chapter has been written, updated and reviewed by IARC's immigration lawyers and that the content can be updated to reflect legal and policy changes, with each section displaying the date it was last updated. Checked 2026-09-27. Only English is available; the FAQ states multilingual access is hoped for in future. | What is the publisher's update cycle and service commitment for keeping each chapter current after a legislative or policy change? | [About The Immigration Kit (IARC)](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/about/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Licence, accounts and permitted use | Public claim only | The FAQ states 'each user requires their own individual account and subscription' and answers 'No' to whether more than one person can use the same login; organisations of 5 or more users are directed to an enquiry form, and a user who receives an organisation code applies it in place of a payment method at sign-up. Checked 2026-09-27. No licence text, acceptable-use clause or restriction on copying, quoting or re-use of the text was found on the pages read; the platform's own terms were not reached within the credit budget. | What does the platform licence permit us to do with the text - quoting in advice, copying into a file note, or reproducing an extract for a client? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit platform login page (footer)](https://theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/) |
| Integrations and content links | Public claim only | The Subscriptions page and FAQ state that all plans include 'Integration with AUSTLII legislation' and that the Pro plan adds 'Integration with AUSTLII & Jade case-law libraries'. Checked 2026-09-27. Neither page describes what the integration does mechanically - whether it is an outbound link, an embedded view or a retrieval feed - and no API, export or practice-management integration is published. | What does the AustLII and Jade integration do technically, and is any of our activity transmitted to those services when it is used? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Subscriptions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/subscriptions/) |
| Support and feedback channel | Public claim only | The FAQ states subscribers submit support requests and feedback through a Help Button, the question-mark icon at the bottom of the left sidebar when logged in, and that non-subscribers can email theimmigrationkit@iarc.org.au. Checked 2026-09-27. No response time, support hours or service level is published. | What response time applies to a support request, and is there any published service level for platform availability? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Published evidence about output quality | Public claim only | The FAQ states 'Our Q&A tool is powered by AI and may make mistakes - it is important to check responses carefully' and that responses 'are intended as a guide only'. It also states the tool 'provides answers using AI by drawing only on the expert legal content written by IARC's immigration lawyers - it has guardrails in place, so it does not pull from any external sources', and that answers arrive 'with sources shown at the bottom of the page'. Checked 2026-09-27. No accuracy testing, benchmark, error rate or evaluation method is published for the Q&A tool. | What testing has been done on the Q&A tool's answers against the underlying text, and can the publisher share the method and the results? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Task fit as the publisher describes it | Public claim only | The FAQ states the Q&A tool 'does not replace professional advice' and that a user 'should always seek advice from a Registered Migration Agent or a qualified immigration lawyer'. The About page frames the platform as making immigration law information searchable and updatable for everyday use. Checked 2026-09-27. Nothing published describes the platform as suited to producing advice, submissions or applications, and no output document type is named. | For which specific tasks in our own workflow does the publisher consider the Q&A tool suitable, and for which does it not? | [About The Immigration Kit (IARC)](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/about/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Check for vendor content directing how AI describes the product | Not confirmed | Checked 2026-09-27. The three publisher pages read for this product (About, FAQs, Subscriptions) and the platform login page were examined for a heading or block addressed to AI models, assistants, crawlers or LLMs, and were searched for 'Instructions for AI Assistants', 'ai assistant', 'llms', 'for ai models', 'crawler' and 'robots'. No such content was found. No map of iarc.org.au or theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au was run within the credit budget, so whether an /llms.txt file exists is unknown rather than absent, and crawler allow and disallow directives were not examined. The FAQ answers no comparative or superlative question about the product against any other vendor; the only comparison it draws is against the publisher's own print textbook, answered on features. | Does IARC publish any file or page addressed to AI models, assistants or crawlers - an llms.txt, an AI-information page, or guidance on how the platform should be described? | [About The Immigration Kit (IARC)](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/about/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Subscriptions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/subscriptions/); [The Immigration Kit platform login page (footer)](https://theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/) |
| Authority to put client information into the tool | Not confirmed | Nothing published on the pages read states whether a subscriber may type client facts, client names or matter detail into the Q&A tool, or what confidentiality position the publisher takes on what is typed. The closest statement is the FAQ's 'The Q&A tool does not retain or store personal data from your session. All interactions are private and temporary', checked 2026-09-27, which addresses retention rather than authority to input. The platform's own terms and privacy notice, linked from the login footer, were not reached within the credit budget. | Are subscribers permitted to enter client information or matter facts into the Q&A tool, and does the platform's privacy notice say what happens to it? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit platform login page (footer)](https://theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/) |
| Model and model provider | Not confirmed | No model, model family, model provider or cloud AI service is named anywhere on the About, FAQs, Subscriptions or platform login pages, checked 2026-09-27. The About page states only that IARC and Lext built the platform 'By combining immigration law expertise with carefully designed AI', and the FAQ that the tool 'provides answers using AI'. Lext Australia is named as the builder on the About page, the FAQ and the platform login footer; a builder is not a model provider and is not recorded as one. | Which model and which model provider answer a Q&A question, and would we be told before either changed? | [About The Immigration Kit (IARC)](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/about/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit platform login page (footer)](https://theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/) |
| Subprocessors and third parties in the chain | Not confirmed | No subprocessor list, DPA or third-party schedule was found for this platform. The only third parties named on the pages read, checked 2026-09-27, are Lext Australia as the builder of the platform, AustLII and Jade as content libraries reached through integrations, and the payment methods listed on the FAQ (credit card, debit card, direct deposit, Link and Apple Pay/Google Pay). The organisation enquiry form is hosted on a Microsoft Forms address. None of these is published as a processor of subscriber data. | Can IARC provide a current list of the processors and hosting providers behind the platform and the Q&A tool, including any model provider? | [About The Immigration Kit (IARC)](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/about/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Subscriptions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/subscriptions/) |
| Use of subscriber input to train models | Not confirmed | Nothing on the pages read states whether text typed into the Q&A tool, or search terms, are used to train or improve any model. The nearest statement is the FAQ's 'Does the Q&A tool store what I type? No. The Q&A tool does not retain or store personal data from your session', checked 2026-09-27, which is narrower than a statement that prompts are never used for training, and is framed around personal data rather than prompts generally. | Is anything typed into the Q&A tool, or any search term, used to train, fine-tune or evaluate a model, by IARC or by any provider behind it? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Use of feedback and thumbs-up signals | Not confirmed | The FAQ states feedback is submitted through the Help Button and that 'we welcome feedback as we continue to refine the platform', checked 2026-09-27. Nothing published says what is captured with a feedback submission, whether the question and answer are attached to it, how long it is kept, or whether it is used to tune the Q&A tool. | When a subscriber submits feedback through the Help Button, is the question and the answer captured with it, and what is it used for? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Retention of prompts, answers and search history | Public claim only | Two retention statements are published in the FAQ, checked 2026-09-27, both about the tools rather than the account: 'The Q&A tool does not retain or store personal data from your session. All interactions are private and temporary'; and of the search bar, 'The search bar stores a history of the search results you have clicked so that you can find them again later. This history is stored in your browser and can be deleted at any time. It is not stored in our database.' No retention period is published for account records, subscription and payment records, support tickets, feedback, logs or any server-side record of Q&A use, and IARC's organisational privacy policy sets no retention period for any category. | What is retained server-side when the Q&A tool is used - the question, the answer, or a log entry - and for how long is each kept? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [IARC Privacy Policy (organisational)](https://iarc.org.au/privacy-policy/) |
| Deletion on request and on cancellation | Public claim only | The FAQ states search history 'is stored in your browser and can be deleted at any time', and that on cancellation 'You will continue to have access to The Immigration Kit and all features included in your plan until the end of your billing period', checked 2026-09-27. IARC's organisational privacy policy provides for a written request to access or amend personal information, directed to the Principal Solicitor, with review by the Management Committee if refused; it does not provide a deletion right or a deletion timeframe, and it is written about legal clients, staff, volunteers and donors rather than platform subscribers. | On cancellation or on request, what account and usage data is deleted, within what period, and what is kept and why? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [IARC Privacy Policy (organisational)](https://iarc.org.au/privacy-policy/) |
| Human access to subscriber content | Not confirmed | Nothing on the pages read states who at IARC, at Lext or at any provider can see what a subscriber types into the Q&A tool or searches for, whether such access is logged, or whether support staff can view a session. Checked 2026-09-27. IARC's organisational privacy policy states its lawyers are bound by obligations of confidentiality and legal professional privilege, but is written about client matters and not about the platform. | Who can see what a subscriber types into the Q&A tool, under what circumstances, and is that access logged and reviewable? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [IARC Privacy Policy (organisational)](https://iarc.org.au/privacy-policy/) |
| Accounts, logins and administration | Public claim only | The FAQ states an account is required, that 'each user requires their own individual account and subscription' and that a shared login is not permitted; sign-up for 1 to 4 users is self-service with name, email address and a password, 5 or more users goes through an enquiry form, and an organisation can issue a code a user applies in place of payment. Account Settings allow a subscription to be managed and display preferences changed. Checked 2026-09-27. No multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, password policy, session timeout, role or organisation-administrator control is published. | Is multi-factor authentication or single sign-on available, and can an organisation administrator add, remove and audit its own users? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Encryption in transit and at rest | Not confirmed | No encryption statement was found for this platform. The Subscriptions page carries the words 'Secure online payment \| Instant access \| Annual subscription', checked 2026-09-27, which is not an encryption statement about subscriber content. IARC's organisational privacy policy contains no encryption commitment. The platform's own privacy notice was not reached within the credit budget. | Is subscriber content encrypted in transit and at rest, with which algorithms, and who holds the keys? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Subscriptions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/subscriptions/); [IARC Privacy Policy (organisational)](https://iarc.org.au/privacy-policy/) |
| Independent assurance and certification | Not confirmed | No assurance certification, audit report or security attestation is published on any page read, checked 2026-09-27 - no SOC 2, no ISO/IEC 27001, no ISO/IEC 42001, and no trust centre or security page exists for this platform. The publisher's published accreditations are of the organisation rather than the software: ACNC charity registration and accreditation through Community Legal Centres Australia. | Has the platform or its builder been independently assessed against any security or AI management standard, and can the report or certificate be shared? | [IARC Charity and Accreditation](https://iarc.org.au/charity-accreditation/); [The Immigration Kit platform login page (footer)](https://theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/) |
| Contract documents and the contracting entity | Not confirmed | The platform publishes its own Terms and Privacy documents: the login page footer at theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au links 'Terms' to https://theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/terms and 'Privacy' to https://theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/privacy, and states '(c) 2026 Immigration Advice and Rights Centre. All rights reserved.' and 'Proudly built by Lext Australia', checked 2026-09-27. Neither document was fetched: the five-operation research budget for this product was exhausted, so their contents, effective dates and contracting entity are unread and nothing is recorded from them. The three marketing pages link only to IARC's organisational privacy policy, which is about legal clients, staff, contractors, volunteers, students and donors, carries no effective date, and does not mention the platform, subscribers or the Q&A tool. | Please provide the current platform terms and privacy notice, the named contracting entity with its ABN, and confirmation of which document governs an organisation subscription. | [IARC Privacy Policy (organisational)](https://iarc.org.au/privacy-policy/); [The Immigration Kit platform login page (footer)](https://theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/) |
| Offshore transfer and cross-border disclosure | Not confirmed | No statement about offshore storage, cross-border disclosure or overseas recipients was found for the platform, checked 2026-09-27. IARC's organisational privacy policy refers to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles, the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW) and the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (NSW), and lists third parties to whom client information may be disclosed - barristers, experts and other parties to a matter - but it addresses legal matters, not the platform, and names no overseas recipient or country. | Is any subscriber content, including Q&A questions, stored or processed outside Australia, and in which countries? | [IARC Privacy Policy (organisational)](https://iarc.org.au/privacy-policy/) |
| Incident notification | Not confirmed | No incident or data-breach notification commitment was found for the platform, checked 2026-09-27, and no notification period or contact is published. IARC's organisational privacy policy does not address notifiable data breaches. | Within what period would subscribers be notified of a data breach affecting the platform, and who is the named contact? | [IARC Privacy Policy (organisational)](https://iarc.org.au/privacy-policy/) |
| Notice of changes to the product and the documents | Public claim only | Two change statements are published. Of the content, the FAQ states 'Now that The Immigration Kit is online, it can be updated in real time to reflect the latest legal changes and policy updates. Each section displays the date it was last updated', with the date shown on an individual section rather than under 'Read Full Chapter'. Of the documents, IARC's organisational privacy policy states 'From time to time, IARC will update our privacy policy in response to any changes in legislation and/or technology'. Checked 2026-09-27. Neither statement commits to notice before a change, and no change log for the platform or the Q&A tool was found. | How much notice is given before the terms, the privacy notice or the Q&A tool's behaviour changes, and where is the change published? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [IARC Privacy Policy (organisational)](https://iarc.org.au/privacy-policy/) |
| Exit, cancellation and taking content away | Public claim only | The FAQ states a subscription can be cancelled 'at any time before it renews' with access continuing 'until the end of your billing period', that Basic and Pro renew automatically each year, that Student does not auto-renew, and that an upgrade is charged pro rata. Checked 2026-09-27. Nothing published provides for export of anything a subscriber has created - saved searches, search history beyond the browser, or Q&A transcripts - and no post-cancellation data handling is described. | On cancellation, can we export our search history or any saved material, and what happens to our account record afterwards? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Connections to other systems | Public claim only | The published connections are to legal content libraries, not to firm systems: 'Integration with AUSTLII legislation' on all plans and 'Integration with AUSTLII & Jade case-law libraries' on Pro, checked 2026-09-27. No connector to a practice management system, document management system, email or file store is published, and no API is published. The organisation enquiry form is hosted on a Microsoft Forms address, which is a sign-up channel rather than a product connector. | Is there an API or any connector to a practice management or document system, and can a firm restrict which integrations its users can reach? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Subscriptions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/subscriptions/) |
| Whether the tool reaches outside its own corpus | Public claim only | The FAQ states of the Q&A tool that it 'provides answers using AI by drawing only on the expert legal content written by IARC's immigration lawyers - it has guardrails in place, so it does not pull from any external sources', and separately that answers arrive 'with sources shown at the bottom of the page', checked 2026-09-27. The same pages also publish AustLII and Jade integrations, which are external libraries, without stating whether the Q&A tool can reach them or whether they are links for the reader. What 'guardrails' means technically is not described anywhere on the pages read. | Does the Q&A tool ever retrieve from AustLII, Jade or any other source outside IARC's own text, and what technically enforces the stated limit? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/); [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Subscriptions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/subscriptions/) |
| Whether the tool can take actions | Not confirmed | Nothing on the pages read describes the Q&A tool or the 'Explain this' feature taking any action beyond returning an answer or an explanation in the interface - no document creation, no sending, no writing to another system, and no agent or tool-use behaviour is published. Checked 2026-09-27. Because no capability statement exists either way, this is recorded as unverified rather than as a confirmed absence. | Can the Q&A tool or any future feature take an action on a subscriber's behalf, such as producing or sending a document, and is that switchable? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |
| Human authorship, review and the publisher's own warning | Public claim only | The publisher states the text is human-written and reviewed and that the AI output needs checking. The FAQ: 'Every chapter has been written, updated and reviewed by IARC's immigration lawyers. The Q&A tool draws responses only from the text written by us.' And: 'Our Q&A tool is powered by AI and may make mistakes - it is important to check responses carefully. It does not replace professional advice. Responses provided by the Q&A tool are intended as a guide only. You should always seek advice from a Registered Migration Agent or a qualified immigration lawyer.' Checked 2026-09-27. No human review of an individual Q&A answer before it is shown is described, and no in-product review or approval step is published. | Is any Q&A answer reviewed by a person before the subscriber sees it, and how is the warning about checking answers presented inside the product? | [The Immigration Kit: Digital Edition — Frequently Asked Questions](https://iarc.org.au/iarc-resources/the-immigration-kit/faqs/) |

## Notes

Most of the 20 critical controls are unverified. The publisher's three marketing pages and the platform login page were read, together with IARC's organisational privacy policy and its Charity and Accreditation page. The decisive documents - the platform's own terms and privacy notice at theimmigrationkit.iarc.org.au/terms and /privacy - are published and their URLs are established from the login-page footer, but they were NOT fetched: this profile's five-operation research budget was spent on the FAQ, the Subscriptions page, the organisational privacy policy, the charity page and the login page. Reading those two documents is the single step most likely to raise this profile's confidence, and would be expected to settle the contracting entity and ABN, hosting region, retention, deletion, training use, subprocessors, transfers, incidents, changes and exit. Not established and not inferred: which model or provider answers a Q&A question, where the platform or its index is hosted, whether inference runs in Australia, whether prompts are used for training, any encryption or assurance position, and the meaning of the 'guardrails' the FAQ refers to. The FAQ's wording that the Q&A tool 'does not retain or store personal data from your session' is narrower than a statement that prompts are not stored at all, and is recorded as the vendor wrote it. Capability note, reported as a gap and not acted on: nothing in the CAPABILITY list expresses the 'Explain this' behaviour of explaining a highlighted word or sentence in place; legal-research, knowledge-search and public-legal-guidance were used as the closest defensible existing values and no value was invented.
