What is Government Risk Management Software?
Government organisations operate in complex and high-visibility environments where risks must be carefully managed. These risks range from operational inefficiencies and health and safety concerns to compliance with strict legislative requirements and the delivery of services that communities rely on every day. Government risk management software is a digital platform that helps agencies and departments identify, assess, monitor, and control risks that could impact their workforce, operations, or reputation.
Simplifying government risk and compliance
For many public sector organisations, a critical part of this involves chemical risk management — ensuring hazardous substances are safely stored, handled, transported, and disposed of, while remaining fully compliant with Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) regulations such as: Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations (Australia), Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act (New Zealand), AS/NZS standards for chemical safety and environmental protection, Additional defence, health, and environmental frameworks depending on the agency’s scope
Without the right tools, government organisations often face challenges such as fragmented data, outdated Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), inefficient manual processes, and difficulty producing audit-ready reports. These gaps not only increase the risk of compliance breaches but can also compromise worker safety and public trust.
Government risk management software addresses these issues by providing centralised visibility, automated compliance tools, and real-time reporting, giving agencies the confidence that their chemical management practices are accurate, consistent, and accountable.
