Risk matters, safer WA communities
Local Government Risk Forum | Tuesday 6 September 2022
Exploring emerging and current risks for WA local governments
Is there any organisation more diverse in its operations than local government? From roads to waste and libraries to aged care, no two local governments are the same – but every LGIS member shares a commonality in risk exposures.
LGIS supports members every day in managing their risks and handling the claims when there’s an incident. We have a helicopter view of what’s happening in the sector and are in a unique position to see the trends across the sector.
The WA Local Government Risk Forum has been developed using this unique perspective to build capacity within the sector to address current and emerging trends.

The new Work, Health and Safety Act WA (2020) (WHS) changed the definition of a worker to now include volunteers. LGIS members have been seeking clarity on how they can meet their obligations, and what types of protections are included with LGIS membership.

LGIS deals with members every day, managing their liability, property and motor claims. This forum has been developed in direct response to our observations and aims to deepen attendees understanding and address the complex issues of risk management and liability.

A demanding role. What does it take to be a bushfire volunteer? The LGIS injury prevention team have done the most exhaustive assessment yet of the demands of a volunteer bushfire fighter role.
LGIS members across the state, particularly in the south and Wheatbelt, faced fires which destroyed property and razed the land. Changing environmental conditions will continue to pose significant challenges.
Bushfire volunteers provide a vital service to our communities, and the work they undertake is often in very high-risk environments.
