What to expect

Coming together as a community of practice has long been an important activity for NRCoP and we are delighted that we were able to resume the strong tradition of National Conferences!

Hear from international and local speakers from both regulatory practitioner and academic backgrounds as they focus on new regulatory designs and approaches for adapting to disruption and change in an evolving and increasingly complex regulatory environment. The conference program will provide a mix of inspirational speakers and interactive activities, providing you with a range of opportunities to hear new ideas, contribute views and network with your regulatory peers.

Key themes to be explored, include:

➡ Building trust and cooperation: is this the answer to delivering better regulatory outcomes in a complex world?

➡ What does AI hold for the future of regulation?

➡ First Nations Voices – in, out and around regulatory practice

➡ Bridging policy and practice: what do regulatory stewardship and better regulation mean in practice?

➡ When things go wrong:  is it regulator “failure”, unreasonable expectations?

➡ From crisis to confidence: Navigating turbulent times with the global push for regulatory reform to boost efficiency
