About the workshop
This workshop equips EL1 & EL2 leaders who lack a specialised background in risk management, with essential skills, tools, and knowledge to manage risks effectively, ensuring agency objectives are met. The focus is placed on integrating risk considerations into decision-making and implementation processes within departments.
Participants will gain practical insights into applying a robust risk management framework to their current role responsibilities. This involves navigating the intricacies of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) and the Commonwealth Risk Management Policy. Through hands-on exercises and real-world scenarios, attendees will learn to seamlessly integrate risk management principles into their daily tasks, ensuring a proactive approach to potential challenges.
