In 2023, Hedge took part in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship, competing for M2 Competition. [5] Throughout the entire season, Hedge was embroiled in the title fight with teammate Charlie Wurz, with the two trading the championship lead often as the season progressed. He won the opening race of the season at Highlands, [6] but fell behind Wurz after finishing 13th in the feature race. Despite finishing second, first, and second in the three races at Teretonga, Wurz's pair of victories kept Hedge behind in the championship.

[8] Hedge scored a victory in the opening race of the final weekend, [9] but fell behind in the final two races to finish second in the championship.
After the Oceania championship concluded, Hedge traveled to the United States to take part in the 2023 Formula Regional Americas Championship with Crosslink Kiwi Motorsports. [10]
