The Modern Regulator is a publication dedicated to covering the evolving world of regulation with clarity, rigour, and an unwavering commitment to neutrality.
Created by a team of regulatory professionals, journalists, analysts, and policy thinkers, The Modern Regulator tells the story of regulation before it makes the headlines. We focus on what matters: how rules are made, enforced, and adapted – and how they shape public life. Our content spans news, commentary, and insight from across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and beyond.
Our editorial team also curates a digest of key developments, from licensing reform and regulatory technology to public sector digital transformation, enforcement shifts, and emerging compliance trends. Our newsletter brings these updates to your inbox, cutting through the noise to keep you informed.
We’re driven by broad curiosity about the regulatory profession and deep respect for its mission: public protection.
Regulation doesn’t exist in isolation. It lives at the intersection of policy, trust, and technology. Our goal is to surface the ideas, decisions, and debates shaping its future.
Whether you’re a regulator, policymaker, public servant, or simply regulation-curious, The Modern Regulator is here to inform, challenge, and connect.
