NRCoP Governance

The NRCoP is a unified national structure with chapters in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and shortly in South Australia. The NRCoP also welcomes virtual attendance by New Zealand regulators through its partnership with G-Reg, the New Zealand Government Regulatory Practice Initiative.

As the NRCoP’s auspice, ANZSOG is advised by a national committee and chapter committees, which include regulators from the Australian, state/territory and local governments. The national committee also includes two representatives from G-Reg.

In March 2021 the national committee restructured to reflect its increasing maturity as a national and trans-Tasman community. It now comprises:
