Services
Enterprise and material risk management — including workers compensation — delivered with the commercial rigour and operational understanding that complex industries demand.
Our Risk Capability
Workplace risk — whether operational, industrial, compliance-based, or people-related — is one of the most significant exposures facing Australian businesses. Organisations that manage risk proactively avoid the costs, disruption, and reputational damage that come from reactive crisis management.
SHR Consultants delivers risk management services across two primary streams: Enterprise Risk — the strategic management of risk across the organisation — and Material Risk — the identification and control of specific high-consequence risks at an operational level.
We also bring specialist capability in workers compensation management, helping organisations reduce claim frequency, manage return-to-work outcomes, and control the significant costs associated with workplace injury and illness.
Discuss Your Risk ProfileTwo Risk Streams
Strategic identification and management of risk across the full organisation — people, operational, compliance, and reputational. Aligned to business objectives and governance requirements.
Identification and control of specific high-consequence risks at an operational level — the risks that, if realised, would have a material impact on your business, your workforce, or your licence to operate.
What We Deliver
Structured assessment of your risk landscape — identifying, analysing, and prioritising risks across people, operations, compliance, and strategy. Delivered as a working risk register with clear ownership and treatment plans.
Design and implementation of enterprise risk management frameworks — governance structures, appetite statements, reporting mechanisms, and escalation pathways that embed risk thinking across the organisation.
Identification of your most significant operational risks and development of targeted control measures — including critical controls, bow-tie analysis, and assurance frameworks for high-consequence scenarios.
End-to-end workers compensation support — from claim management and return-to-work planning through to insurer liaison, dispute resolution, and the development of injury management frameworks that reduce long-term claim costs.
Identification and management of compliance risks across employment law, WHS, industrial instruments, and workplace regulations — ensuring your obligations are understood, tracked, and met.
Management of the people-related risks that most directly impact operational performance — succession gaps, key person dependency, workforce relations, and the industrial risk that comes with complex workforce arrangements.
Workers compensation costs represent one of the most controllable — and most frequently mismanaged — expenses in high-risk industries.
Effective claims management, early intervention, and structured return-to-work programs can dramatically reduce your premium costs and protect injured workers. Poor management does the opposite.
SHR Consultants provides hands-on support across the full workers compensation lifecycle — from injury notification through to claim closure — working alongside your HR, WHS, and operations teams.
What We Manage
Common Questions
Enterprise risk management takes a broad view — looking at risks across the whole organisation including strategic, operational, financial, compliance, and people risks. Material risk management focuses specifically on the risks that could have a significant or catastrophic impact on the business — the risks where controls must be robust and assurance must be rigorous. Both are complementary and both are important.
The most effective lever is early intervention — getting injured workers the right support quickly, implementing suitable duties programs, and maintaining active communication with the injured worker throughout. Premium costs are also directly influenced by your claims history, so reducing claim frequency and duration through proactive injury management has a measurable financial impact.
Yes. We frequently work alongside existing risk, WHS, and HR teams — providing specialist advisory support, independent assessment, or project-based delivery. We complement your team's capability rather than replacing it.
Our risk management work spans construction, civil infrastructure, mining, manufacturing, marine and offshore, and energy sectors — environments where operational risk is complex and the consequences of poor risk management are material. We bring industry-specific context to every engagement.
