Risk management – Truth, JUSTICE and the Victorian way

Presentation by: Alison Hunt-Sturman, Manager Safety & Wellbeing, Department of Justice (Victoria)

The challenges of managing risk in a very large, diverse and complex organisation, the Department of Justice (Victoria), were outlined to members of Central Safety Group in a lunchtime presentation on 14 May, 2013, by Alison Hunt-Sturman, the department‘s General Manager of Safety & Wellbeing.
Alison explained how the Department of Justice has a portfolio of nine different divisions operating across eight different regions, and reports to five State Ministers. To illustrate this, she took the audience through the story of “Stevie” a minor fraudster.

OHS & forensic mental health
As many of you know, Victoria is entering a new era of workplace safety with the upcoming implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety (Psychological Health) Regulations, set to take effect in December 2025.
Craig Ramadge’s presentation to Central Safety Group on July 8 will draw on his experience working in the area of forensic mental health to explore the implications of Victoria’s new psychosocial regulations for employers and employees.
These regulations place a stronger emphasis on identifying and managing psychological hazards - including exposure to trauma, violence and high-stress environments - all of which are highly relevant in forensic settings.
Craig will take us through the unique physical and mental health challenges faced by workers in forensic mental health roles, and how the changes to WorkCover Mental Injury claims in Victoria impact these workers.
He will also offer practical strategies for creating safer, more supportive workplaces, with an emphasis on the importance of early intervention, trauma-informed care and organisational resilience.
Whether you work in corrections, mental health services, law enforcement or community support, this session is designed to equip you with insights and tools to better protect psychological wellbeing in your workplace.
