Across Australia, schools are operating in a new compliance environment. Expectations around risk management, safety, governance and reporting haven’t just increased - they’ve shifted.

It’s no longer enough to have policies in place. Schools are now expected to demonstrate what has been done, when it was done and how it was followed up.

For many schools, this means 2026 is the year to move from policy-based compliance to clear, connected evidence.

There’s no doubt that 2021 presented some serious challenges for the vast majority of people around the world. As we continued to battle through the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses were also faced with a host of other challenges, from cyber attacks and extreme weather events, to business interruptions due to staff shortages and disruptions to the supply chain.

A massive component of owning or running an organisation is making sure it is in compliance with external and internal regulations and policies in order to protect it from the risks caused by non-compliance. Compliance risk management is the process of understanding and managing compliance with laws and regulations and helping to better manage the risks associated with non-compliance.

After the challenges of 2020 and the continuing impact of the global pandemic, risk awareness and prevention has taken on a whole new level of significance for businesses everywhere.
