RaC platform available through the Drupal Services Panel
Australian government agencies can now procure the Rules as Code platform Assemblic through the Drupal Services Panel via Salsa Digital.
Assemblic is an enterprise-grade Rules as Code platform built for OpenFisca coding and hosting. It has been assessed against the Information Security Manual (ISM) at the Official:Sensitive classification level by an accredited IRAP assessor.
“Through the Drupal Services Panel, we can now offer agencies a clear, straightforward path to procuring a platform that’s been independently assessed — and get them moving on their Rules as Code programs.”
Phillipa Martin, Rules as Code Practice Lead, Salsa Digital

What is Rules as Code?
Rules as Code turns legislation, regulation and policy into machine-readable code. Agencies can use it to automate eligibility checks, compliance decisions and benefits calculations, and more. The result is greater consistency, less manual interpretation, and faster responses to policy change.
Rules as Code can also be used for policy modelling, through all stages of the policy lifecycle. See our piece What if Australia’s Budget tax changes were modelled as code? as an example.
About Assemblic
Assemblic is the enterprise-grade Rules as Code platform built for OpenFisca coding and hosting. It manages the infrastructure complexity of a Rules as Code program — source code, deployment pipelines, secure hosting, WAF, CDN, and edge computing. Agencies can focus on encoding legislation, not managing servers.
