Minister's Foreword

Risk management has always been an important issue for the sport and recreation industry to consider.

In 2002 when the first edition of this resource was released the cost and availability of insurance cover for sport and recreation was a significant challenge for our industry.

In the intervening period many organisations have successfully tackled their risk issues, however in a changing world effective risk management is an ongoing governance issue in the management of sport and recreation.

This updated resource continues to provide guidance on the process of risk management and includes information to support organisations with the development and implementation of risk management strategies.

Risk Management helps us to identify which risks are most important and this resource is aimed at assisting your organisation to identify, assess and treat risk.

Ultimately it is envisaged that, this resource will further assist the industry to develop and improve their business practices in line with providing quality recreation and sport experiences to the community.

On behalf of the Government, I encourage you to take some time to examine the area of risk management in your organisation, to continue to refer to this resource and adopt its principles.
