ERSA has developed from the Risk Management Group of the Institute for International Development and consists of like-minded senior practitioners, researchers and academics with varied skills and experience in environmental science, risk and disaster management, natural resource management and auditing.
Our core team of highly skilled professionals are able to provide expert risk assessment and undertake audits in all natural resource areas. We are able to draw on spatial information, land and environmental management, land use planning and project management expertise to ensure a holistic approach to risk management and auditing.
In addition, we maintain strong and effective working relationships with leading practitioners, professional bodies, public sector organisations and academic institutions that work in the risk management and auditing field. These include the Bureau of Meteorology, Geoscience Australia (formerly the Australian Geological Survey Organisation), NSW Natural Resources Commission, Risk Frontiers (the Natural Hazards Research Centre at Macquarie University), the Centre for Disaster Studies at James Cook University, the Institute of Internal Auditors and others.
By drawing on this very significant skills and knowledge base, ERSA is able to assemble expert teams tailored to meet the requirements of any risk science or natural resource audit task.
