The NDIA Risk management strategy submitted to and approved by the COAG Disability Reform Council in 2016
Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,
Please provide a copy of the National Disability Insurance Agency's ‘risk management strategy’ approved by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG ) (now known as National Cabinet) Disability Reform Council (DRC), cited in NDIA Corporate Plan 2016-21 [1].
Context:
Section 8 of the plan, under Risk Management, states “The successful transition to full Scheme operations by 2019 will require clear focus on critical priorities, careful management of risks and excellent implementation. The Board’s approach to risk management is to acknowledge risks, mitigate their impact and manage residual consequences” [2]. Further asserting that “ The Board has in place the systems and processes needed to effectively manage the risks of administering the Scheme and to meet Commonwealth law. In addition, the Board has adopted Prudential Standard CPS 220 which is applied by the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority to banks and insurers” [3]. Finally confirming that, “Consistent with legislative and prudential requirements, the Board has formulated a risk management strategy that was approved by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Disability Reform Council. As a result, the Board has: 1) developed strategic goals and objectives through its Corporate Plan 2) identified its key strategic risks to achieving those goals and objectives 3) expressed a view, in its risk tolerance statement, on how the Agency will manage these risks “ [4]. It is this approved COAG risk management strategy that is the focus of this request. Supporting the Agency’s guarantee of risk governance, including “oversight of the status and progress of major projects and service delivery operations” [5].
Thank you for your help with this request.
Yours faithfully,
Shirley
