Project outcomes
Phase 1 of this project developed a risk and controls model, with supporting tools, for the Victorian disability services sector. The model assists organisations to identify and evaluate risk to develop a more risk intelligent culture.
Phase 2 of the project was a continued development of ‘good practice’ prescriptive risk management, control models and templates.
