Risk Management Unit

UNSW has adopted a risk management process that accords with the Australian / New Zealand Standard for Risk Management 4360:1999. The process is an ongoing one and incorporates the following functions:

1. Identification of all potential risk exposures

2. Examination of possible solutions/remedies

3. Selection of the most appropriate solution/remedy

4. Implementation of the selected solution/remedy

5. Monitoring of the solution to ensure effectiveness

The scope of the Risk Management Unit's activities covers occupational health, safety, and the environment; injuries to staff, students and visitors; property legal liability, travel, motor vehicle and other insurance; the associated claims management process for these insured risks and the management of the University's Workers Compensation Self Insurance Scheme, including Occupational rehabiliation.

All activities are linked in the one Risk Management Unit to provide an integrated approach to the prevention and management of injury to staff and students and damage to university property and the environment, and protection for its legal liabilities.
