Your Invitation to
Join CivicRisk Mutual

CivicRisk Mutual is owned and operated entirely for and by its members. With the goal of providing creative solutions to risk management, we’re a family of like-minded councils committed to transparency, collaboration and support.

In the last two years, CivicRisk has enrolled eight new members. We welcome applications on a rolling basis and encourage those who are willing to work together to make communities safer to join us.

Why CivicRisk?

CivicRisk approaches risk management in an innovative, community-driven way. Members count on the flexibility to customise their own experience and we have the knowledge to support them throughout their journey.

Our range of benefits and services are designed to create a deeper understanding of risk management and equip local government leaders with the tools they need to build resilient communities. In addition, our protection program can be tailored to meet each member’s unique needs.

A Self-Funded Organisation

Each council pays a contribution to fund the Mutual and receives access to cost-effective solutions as well as to a range of tools, resources and exclusive events. We also offer members an abundance of grants to help councils identify and implement the best practices for risk mitigation.

CivicRisk calculates each member’s contribution by taking into account a number of statistics relating to the council’s size and claim history.

All CivicRisk Mutual members benefit from tailored risk management solutions, professional development opportunities, specialist support and more. Here’s a list of our current members from councils across Australia.
