The Utility Regulators Forum was established in 1997 to encourage cooperation between Commonwealth, state and territory based regulators. By acting as a focal point for regulators in different jurisdictions it aims to facilitate:
the exchange of information
understanding of the issues faced by regulators
consistency in the application of regulatory functions and
the review of new ideas about regulatory practices.
The newsletter of the forum, Network, is published quarterly and contains articles on common challenges, summaries of recent journal articles on regulatory matters and updates on regulatory decisions.
