Indigenous Regulatory Practice helps health regulatory bodies translate cultural safety commitment into structural reality - through systemic analysis grounded in Indigenous knowledge sovereignty.
Most regulatory systems have made the commitment. Few have done the structural work to honour it.
Cultural safety cannot be achieved through policy statements, training programs, or consultation processes that leave the underlying design of regulation unchanged. Genuine transformation requires analysis that goes deeper - examining the governance frameworks, accountability mechanisms, and epistemological assumptions embedded in how health practitioner regulation is built and enforced.
Who this practice is
Indigenous Regulatory Practice is led by Jayde Fuller, a Gamilaraay woman with fifteen years of experience at the intersection of Indigenous health policy and national regulatory frameworks.
As former National Director at the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra), Jayde led the implementation of Australia's first national cultural safety strategy across sixteen health professions - work grounded in Indigenous knowledge sovereignty.
This practice exists to continue that work independently: advising government agencies and health sector organisations that are ready to move beyond performative commitment toward enforceable structural change.
What this looks like in practice
Indigenous Regulatory Practice offers strategic advisory and analytical consulting to organisations operating at the regulatory and policy level. This is specialist work for clients who understand that the problem is structural, and who hold the institutional authority and genuine will to address it at that level.
If you are looking for cultural awareness training, implementation, delivery, or consultation that validates already-made decisions, this practice is not the right fit.
Indigenous Regulatory Community of Practice (IRCoP)
IRCoP is a sovereign knowledge community for Indigenous regulatory practitioners across Australia, Aotearoa (New Zealand), and Turtle Island (United States of America and Canada) - a space to connect, strategise, and build collective authority within and beyond colonial regulatory systems.
Indigenous regulators are welcome to join. Regulatory bodies can support IRCoP through organisational membership.
