AELERT Regulatory Capture Workshops – Tasmania
September 3 - September 4
Building and maintaining public trust and confidence is critical to becoming a mature, efficient and effective regulator. It is increasingly a statutory objective for many regulatory agencies, and the regulator being perceived as ‘captured’ carries with it the threat of losing its integrity, posture and effectiveness to regulate industry and the regulated community.
Understanding the risk regulatory capture poses and practical ways to mitigate it therefor becomes critical for regulators in the effort to improve understanding and engagement among the communities they regulate and the delivery of outcomes in the broader public interest.
What you will learn
This practical workshop will improve the understanding and awareness of regulatory capture amongst practitioners and regulatory leaders and build capabilities to avoid and mitigate against the risks and impacts of regulatory capture.
Attendees will be equipped with practical ways to identify risks and mitigate those risks either by behavioral, agency system, procedural or structural modifications. After the workshop we will develop a regulatory capture tool kit and provide ongoing support and guidance for practitioners and leaders through AELERT resources, groups, events, programs and products.
In the regulatory capture workshop you will:
- Explore regulatory capture, its emerging risks, and understand why it is critical to manage now and into the future
- Unpack regulatory capture theoretical concepts – what it is & what it is not
- Develop an understanding of the Regulatory Capture Continuum, where capture sits, and associated risks
- How to identify an emerging risk
- Techniques to implement risk mitigation including behavioural, support practical networks (AELERT), agency systems, procedures, and structural mitigation options
- Regulatory capture tool kit and ongoing guidance and support within AELERT

More about the workshop
These regulatory capture workshops will be facilitated and run by RECAP Consultants with support from key AELERT member leaders and the AELERT leadership team. These workshops were triggered by regulatory leaders in Tasmanian agencies with the intent to grow our collective capabilities by equipping staff and peer leaders with specialized skills to safeguard themselves and the agencies they represent.
These events are sponsored and organized by AELERT and key Tasmanian member agencies for their people. Follow up actions to consolidate learnings and keep good regulatory practice alive will be driven and led by the AELERT leadership team.
These workshops follow similar regulatory capture workshops held in Adelaide in 2023 for AELERT members.
