Community Link Australia uses a risk management framework based on proactive management techniques which are designed to protect an organisation, workers and management and consumers from harm or loss. It is a positive and structured approach which relies on common sense, planning and good management. Incorporated in the framework is a six step approach to risk management for community organisations. It is based on Standards Australia's Risk Management Standard.

The six steps involved are:

1. List the activities - of the organisation or an individual worker or volunteer
   
2. Describe the context - the legal, social, contractual etc environment in which the risk may arise
   
3. Identify the risks - what are the risks in undertaking the activities within the context
   
4. Evaluate the risks - how likely is the risk and what are the consequences
   
5. Develop strategies - how might the risks be managed and minimised
   
6. Implement, monitor and review - monitor the risk management plan, identifying effectiveness and any new or changed risks

Training in risk management is offered in the form of a one day workshop. The intent of the workshop is to assist participants to develop, implement and monitor a risk management plan in the context of their organisations. The place of insurance in risk management strategies is assessed.
