Overview

Join the NRCoP NSW Chapter for our first local hybrid event of the year, bringing regulators together in Newcastle and online for a practical, engaging workshop focused on frontline intelligence in regulation.

We’re pleased to reconnect in person on Thursday, 26 February, while also welcoming online participants for this timely discussion on how real‑world regulatory experience can inform smarter, more effective decision‑making.

About the workshop

Frontline staff hold critical insights into how regulation works in practice—what’s effective, what’s not, and where unintended impacts can arise. This workshop explores how regulators can better capture and use frontline intelligence to inform priorities, strategy, and decision‑making, strengthening regulatory and government practice.

Participants will gain a clearer understanding of:

  • The unique value of frontline and field‑based insights

  • Practical approaches to capturing and applying those insights

  • How frontline intelligence can complement policy, strategy, and regulatory design

Why attend?

  • Gain practical insights to improve regulatory outcomes

  • Learn from experienced regulatory leaders across sectors

  • Connect with regulatory peers across all levels of government

  • Share the experience—bring a colleague along

Speakers

  • Sharife Rahmani, Chief Regulatory Officer, Coal LSL

  • Michelle Bryne, Industry & Customer Programs Communications Manager, Transport for NSW

  • Jennifer Farley, Assistant Commissioner, Foreign Investment Program, Australian Taxation Office

The formal part of this event will be live‑streamed for online participants.
