I'm based in Adelaide, South Australia.
Australian businesses in healthcare, legal, and finance are sending sensitive client data to American AI systems. US jurisdiction. US servers. Their compliance teams are starting to notice.
So I built an alternative.
NorthStar LLM API provides private AI inference on Australian sovereign infrastructure. Your prompts never leave Australia. No per-token billing. Flat monthly subscription from $29 AUD/month.
The API is OpenAI-compatible — existing code works with one endpoint change. No prompts logged. No data offshore.
Built for regulated industries where data residency is a legal requirement, not a preference.
GitHub: https://github.com/northstarholdings-au/northstar-llm-api
Free trial — 100 requests, no credit card required. Email northstarholdings.global@gmail.com with subject "API Trial Request".
Happy to discuss the Australian data sovereignty compliance angle.
