Australian organisations increasingly face the challenge to provide more effective management of various financial and societal resources. All organisations need to know how to make good decisions in order to achieve goals and reduce those losses that arise from unexpected incidents, poor maintenance, accidents or illness within the workforce. Also, legislation requirements for safety and occupational health impose important demands to ensure the overall well being of people.

Risk management involves processes and techniques aimed at the cost-effective loss prevention concerning an organisation's assets and resources. The course covers areas of health, safety, plant, property, financial control and maintenance.

This course is not available to on-shore international students.
