Most organisations assign Risk Owners, but few provide the training needed to fulfil the role with confidence. Ownership is more than signing a document or attending a meeting. It requires understanding risk context, control effectiveness, assurance expectations and decision-making responsibility.

This course equips Risk Owners (RO) with the knowledge, governance awareness and practical tools to manage risk with authority and competence.

Who Should Attend

This program is designed for:

• Senior supervisors & operational managers

• Risk Owners, Control Owners & WHS leaders

• Department heads & functional managers

• Risk committee members & governance personnel

• Anyone with accountability for risk management outcomes

No technical background required. We develop real capability from first principles.

What You Will Learn

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

✔ Understand the role and obligations of a Risk Owner

✔ Validate and review risk assessments with confidence

✔ Determine whether risks are controlled ALARP (or As Low As Reasonably Practicable)

✔ Set expectations for control effectiveness and verification

✔ Monitor leading indicators, early-warning signals & risk drift

✔ Communicate risk position to executives and boards

✔ Lead structured risk reviews & influence control decisions

✔ Apply risk governance principles to lift organisational maturity

This is practical capability development, not policy recitation.
