10th Annual Risk Management in Government Congress

Utilising risk to structure and orient decisionmaking

21-22 October 2026, Sydney and Online

There have never been so many complex risks in the government system – in turn, decision-making itself has become similarly complex. Many believe that risk management should be an organisational compass, that provides direction and context for senior leaders and business units to make informed and considered strategic choices. The most experienced and talented risk managers who share this belief congregate once again at Australia’s premiere public sector risk management event, the 10th Annual Risk Management in Government Congress. On its decennial anniversary, these experts and peers will provide you with exclusive insights for transforming risk management ambitions into results. With exclusive case studies and insights from senior leaders themselves, this congress will address your most pressing concerns and institutional barriers to managing risks effectively, on topics including:

  • Mitigating the risks of organisational change management effectively
  • Navigating the key challenges for risk managers in government agencies
  • Integrating artificial intelligence and generative AI as a tool within your organisation
  • Developing a useful approach to risk appetite in organisational strategy
  • Steering organisational success with meaningful Risk-Based Decision-Making practices
  • Conducting effective risk management during an era of geopolitical instability
  • Communicating about risk effectively with key stakeholders
  • Managing the substantial risks of supply chain disruptions
  • Engaging your senior executive leaders as risk management advocates
  • Conducting practical and effective business continuity planning in the age of black swans

You will be joined by risk managers and public sector professionals just like you, as well as outstanding speakers from all three levels of government, as well as international experts and private sector professionals.
