- Supporting the establishment of regulatory expectations for prevention, response, and institutional governance in line with evidence-based practice.
- Proactively identifying and providing strategic advice on emerging risks, trends, and opportunities.
- Interpreting regulatory instruments and legislation relevant to the scheme, translating them into actionable regulatory strategies and advice.
- Collaborating with legal counsel and external regulators to ensure consistent legal and regulatory enforcement across jurisdictions.
- Engaging with key stakeholders including government agencies, peak bodies, and institutions to drive reform and shape the future of GBV regulation.
- Facilitating an inclusive and positive team culture, providing strong leadership, and supporting team members in enhancing their capability and professional development, while ensuring employee engagement and wellbeing.

You should take into consideration the position overview (including any detailed position specific requirements) when drafting your response.
