Moving beyond policy intent to practical implementation and impact

The Regulatory Reform in Practice Summit 2026 is Australia’s dedicated event for regulators, agencies and government departments responsible for turning reform intent into practical implementation and measurable impact.
 
As regulatory expectations rise and reform mandates become more complex, there has never been a more important time for regulatory leaders and teams to share what works in practice. The challenge is no longer only what to reform, but how to implement reform well while keeping day-to-day regulation running.

Attend the summit to hear from leaders delivering reform across Australia and New Zealand, gain practical lessons from real case studies, and connect with peers working to strengthen regulatory practice, capability and public outcomes.

Translate reform intent into implementation plans that work inside real regulatory operating environments while day-to-day regulation continues

Hear how regulators like Coal LSL and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission turned contested, high-profile reform mandates into workable regulatory practice
