The platform is easy to navigate, clearly structured, and helped us stay organised with assessments, actions, and compliance requirements. \[sensitive content hidden\] was also great to work with — responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the process. > > **Cons**: There wasn’t much I disliked about StartRisk. If anything, it took a little time at the beginning to become familiar with where everything was located, but once we got used to the layout, it was straightforward and easy to use. > > Overall, our experience with StartRisk has been very positive. The platform has helped make our risk management processes more organised, consistent, and easier to manage, particularly in supporting our NDIS compliance requirements. ----- ### "A Risk system for the future... driving innovation and change" — 5.0/5 > **Amanda** | *16 April 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: StartRisk program is a great system to manage Risk, it's perfect for all size of organisation. It's a very user-friendly system all staff can use and is not a big, complicated risk system. You can tailor to various risk classes and with the built in AI component, it allows you to consider risks that you had potentially not considered. > > **Cons**: There is nothing I dislike about the program; However, I did find taking the time to spend with both Board and Operational staff on how to read the reports is essential. > > I found the implementation and training was well supported, with both advice and training being given to all risk class owners. The most valuable approach was from the Board to organisation approach, which will ensure accountability and ownership of Risk, no other software providers if this added essential step. The opportunity to embed within the organisation was also a great approach which allows risk to be become 'BAU'. ----- ### "Transforming our discussions about risk" — 5.0/5 > **Fran** | *17 April 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: StartRisk has transformed the way we approach and discuss risk at both Board and Committee level at Rural Doctors Foundation. The platform’s AI capability identifies risks we may not have otherwise and challenges assumptions in a way that feels constructive rather than abstract. This has strengthened our risk thinking, reduced blind spots, and helped our executive team focus on the most critical issues. The AI-driven insights provide confidence that our risk register is robust, current, and defensible. Equally valuable is the quality of reporting. StartRisk produces clear, board‑ready reports that cut through complexity and present risk in a way that is easy to understand, yet sufficiently detailed when required. This has significantly reduced manual preparation while improving the clarity and consistency of communications to the Board and Committees. > > **Cons**: Any concerns or potential improvements that were identified with StartRisk were discussed with the team and features were either added or improved to address our concerns. > > StartRisk has elevated our governance conversations. Discussions about risk are now more strategic, forward‑looking, and focused on priority exposures and controls, rather than retrospective or overly tactical. Board and Committee members are better equipped to ask the right questions and engage meaningfully with risk as an enabler of good decision‑making, not just a compliance exercise. StartRisk has helped embed a more mature, strategic approach to risk across our organisation, and it has become an invaluable tool in supporting effective governance and informed leadership.
