Our 7 strategic risks are the key areas of uncertainty that can impact the achievement of our strategic objectives. This year we’re allocating resources to reduce that uncertainty to an acceptable level.
Staff safety, health and wellbeing
By prioritising the health, safety, and wellbeing of our workforce, we can make EPA a great place to work and enhance our ability to deliver core services and achieve strategic outcomes.
Resources to deliver core services
We are committed to enhancing our resources to operate efficiently as an organisation. By optimising these resources, we can adapt to funding environments, labour market conditions, and drive innovation.
Effective regulatory performance
Effective regulatory performance is key to delivering on our mandate. Our goal is to prevent and reduce the harmful effects of pollution and waste on Victorians and the environment.
Cyber security, data security and artificial intelligence threats
We are committed to strengthening our cyber security, data security, and artificial intelligence management. This helps us minimise business disruptions and protect our integrity.
Use of science, data and insights
By ensuring our decisions and actions are informed by effective science, data, and insights, we increase our ability to make risk-based decisions that are timely, transparent, consistent, and proportionate.
Confidence of our authorising environment
We are committed to gaining strong confidence from our people, government, and the community. By focusing on relationships and managing them deliberately, we can adapt successfully to a complex and dynamic policy environment.
Appropriate conduct and behaviour
As a public sector agency, we hold ourselves accountable for ensuring compliance with legal and policy obligations, and appropriate conduct and behaviour. Our plans help us manage risk.
We have established treatment actions to mitigate these risks. The Senior Executive Committee regularly monitors and reviews the management of organisational strategic risks. The outcomes of this monitoring and review are reported to the Risk and Audit Committee and the Governing Board biannually or as required.
