The Governance Institute of Australia’s (GIA) Risk Management Survey 2020 was conducted online over March 2020 with feedback from 393 respondents.

It provides some insight into the place and status of risk management in Australian organisations, a summary of which is provided below for the reference of fellow risk practitioners. It should be noted that COVID-19 was not a feature as such.

Survey respondents represented a broad range of industry sectors across Not-for-Profits and Government organisations (mainly) as well as businesses.
