The Contract Management Risk Assessment Matrix serves as an essential tool for organizations operating in Australia to systematically evaluate and manage risks associated with their contractual relationships. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to establish a standardized approach to identifying, assessing, and monitoring contract-related risks across their operations. It includes comprehensive risk categories, evaluation criteria, and treatment strategies aligned with Australian legal requirements and risk management standards. The matrix is designed to support decision-making in contract management, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect organizational interests. It is particularly valuable for complex contracts, high-value agreements, or situations involving significant operational or commercial risk. The document incorporates relevant Australian legislation, industry standards, and best practices in contract risk management, making it suitable for both public and private sector organizations.
