Considering Regulator Champions as part of your School Readiness Funding planning?
This page is for Victorian kindergarten leaders who are looking at regulation, wellbeing, participation or educator capability within their current priorities and want to understand where Regulator Champions may fit.
Your service remains responsible for deciding whether a purchase is appropriate within its current School Readiness Funding plan and for meeting any current Department of Education purchasing and documentation requirements.
Start with the need in your current cohort, not with the funding.
Regulator Champions is not presented as a Department-endorsed program and this page does not guarantee that School Readiness Funding can be used for a purchase. The strongest starting point is identifying what children and educators are currently experiencing, what your team wants to improve and how the proposed professional learning connects with that priority.
Where the connection may sit
What is your team actually trying to change?
I would not begin by asking whether Regulator Champions fits a funding category. I would begin with the situations your educators keep getting stuck on and the capability you want the team to build.
Wellbeing
Regulator Champions has a strong connection with social and emotional wellbeing, co-regulation and helping educators notice what may be happening before behaviour escalates.
Access and participation
The Regulation Ladders encourage teams to consider sensory load, movement, routines, environment and whether current expectations are making participation harder for some children.
Educator capability
The program is designed to build educator and leadership capability rather than provide individual assessment or therapy for children.
QIP and reflective practice
Regulator Champions can also give teams something practical to reflect on together.
The Regulation Ladders are designed around real situations such as drop-off, participation and educator regulation, which means teams can use them to discuss what they are noticing in practice rather than writing broad improvement goals that become disconnected from the room.
Those discussions may help inform Quality Improvement Plan reflection around relationships, environments, participation, educator practice and the consistency of responses across the service.

Choose the level of support your team currently has capacity to use.
The program no longer needs to be approached as a fixed course that everybody completes in order. Teams can begin with the current Regulation Ladders and practical resources, then use recordings, questions and broader support when they have the capacity.

View 12-Month ProposalProfessional learning focus
What Regulator Champions is designed to build
The focus is educator capability and whole-team practice rather than individual clinical treatment for children.
Co-regulation
Consider how adult pace, voice, proximity, expectations and responses may influence difficult moments.
Body cues and emotional wellbeing
Help educators notice earlier signs of overload, shutdown, rising arousal and reduced capacity.
Executive functioning
Think about the demands involved in waiting, transitions, following instructions, group experiences and adapting when plans change.
Participation
Look underneath behaviour and consider what may be making it harder for a child to enter, remain in or return to an experience.
Reflective practice
Use real situations from the room to notice patterns, trial one practical change and return to what happened afterwards.
Whole-team consistency
Give educators, leaders and families a shared way of looking at difficult moments rather than relying on different responses in every room.
Created by Robyn Papworth
Developmental knowledge translated into everyday practice.
I am an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Developmental Educator, and my work with early childhood teams focuses on regulation, sensory processing, movement, participation and helping educators understand what a child's body may be communicating.
Regulator Champions was created because I kept seeing the same gap between professional learning and the reality of the room. Educators often understand the theory, but still need support working out what to notice and what to try when a difficult moment is unfolding in front of them.

Before adding it to your plan
Questions worth discussing with your team first
What are we currently seeing in our cohort that has led us to prioritise regulation, wellbeing, participation or educator capability?
What would we like educators to notice or do differently after this professional learning?
How will the team have opportunities to use and revisit the learning during everyday practice?
What small changes would tell us that our practice is becoming more effective or consistent?
Each service remains responsible for deciding whether Regulator Champions is an appropriate expenditure within its current School Readiness Funding plan, identifying the relevant purchasing pathway and maintaining the documentation required by the Victorian Department of Education. References to School Readiness Funding do not imply Department endorsement of Play Move Improve or Regulator Champions.
Want to discuss whether it fits what your team is currently working on?
You do not need to decide on a program option before contacting me. Tell me what your educators are seeing and what you are hoping to improve, and I can explain where I would start.
