Risk Management

The South Australian Government's commitment to risk management was enunciated in 1995 by the issue of a Risk Management Policy Statement by the Treasurer of South Australia. The policy was updated in 1999.

The Premier and Treasurer jointly affirmed the importance of effective risk management in the public sector by updating and reissuing the Government's Risk Management Policy in September 2003.

The policy makes departmental and agency Chief Executives accountable to their Ministers for the effective implementation of risk management standards and practices.
