For over 20 years, RegNet has influenced academic debates, contributing key ideas that have enhanced regulatory practice and led to more equitable approaches to governance. Today, the School continues to address the big issues that define our world through cutting-edge research and education.
Our story

RegNet researchers develop innovative ways of responding to the complex and interconnected challenges of the 21st century. Our work is distinctly interdisciplinary and focuses on improving the governance of major social, economic, environmental and health issues. We embrace forward-looking and big-picture thinking, recognising that regulation is essential to understanding governance in our globalised world.
Our School’s character is unique: we are inclusive and cooperative in our approach while being bold and ambitious in our actions. A network of diverse experts sustains our vibrant community. Working collaboratively across disciplines, we generate knowledge that informs policy, regulatory practice and public discourse in Australia, Asia, the Pacific and globally.


RegNet adopts an integrated approach to research, education and outreach. Robust research is the foundation of our education programs, which are designed to train the regulatory leaders of today and tomorrow. We bring academics and practitioners together to address some of society’s greatest concerns – climate change, conflict and injustice, disruptive technologies, economic and health inequality and geopolitical contestation.
