The Policy and Practice of Regulation

This course is designed to help individual professionals and organisations understand and apply contemporary Australian and international approaches to effective regulation. Regulatory issues covered include regulatory complexity, risk assessment, responsiveness, compliance, regulating technology and managing stakeholders. It is for people who are currently managing regulatory portfolios and projects in government agencies (e.g. Access Canberra (ACT))—or who will do so in future. It also supports professionals who work with regulatory stakeholders, including business and industry, Territory, State and Federal government agencies, the legislature, community actors and the media. Adopting an applied approach, the course uses case studies, hands-on assessments and recognised examples of regulatory excellence from Australia, Europe, North America and Asia and the Pacific. In doing so, it facilitates a collaborative learning environment that draws on regulatory scholarship as well as the experience of different regulatory actors and course participants.
