Meet the Regulator: Recording and Q&A now available

25 August 2026

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Education Standards Board's (ESB) inaugural Meet the Regulator event in June.

With more than 200 attendees across two fully booked sessions, the event highlighted the sector's strong desire for direct engagement with the regulator and meaningful conversations about how we can collectively support high-quality outcomes for children and families.

Meet the Regulator created a unique opportunity for professionals from across the early childhood education and care sector to ask their burning questions, share perspectives and participate in constructive discussions about quality, compliance and continuous improvement.

Importantly, the event helped strengthen the relationship between the ESB and the sector we serve by creating opportunities for two-way communication. This enabled knowledge sharing and relationship building beyond traditional regulatory interactions.

Panel discussion

The panel discussion generated a wide range of thoughtful questions and insights from across the sector. We are pleased to share a recording of the session for those who were unable to attend, as well as for attendees who are keen to revisit the key topics and discussions from the day.

Key themes and recurring questions

Meet the Regulator highlighted several recurring areas of interest across the sector. To support ongoing learning and engagement, we have compiled a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document that addresses key themes and recurring questions raised before, during and following the event.

The ESB is grateful for the enthusiasm, professionalism and level of participation shown by attendees and looks forward to continuing the conversation at future Meet the Regulator events.
