Engineers To Have Their Say On Registration Scheme Implementation

Business Development Officer - Yarra Ranges Council

The Victorian Government is calling for feedback to help in the implementation of Victoria’s Professional Engineers Registration Scheme.

Engineers, and others involved in the engineering profession, are being asked to provide their feedback on:

  • a proposed Code of Conduct that sets out a range of obligations for registered professional engineers to act fairly, honestly, and in the best interests of their clients
  • proposed regulations that, among other matters, set the schedule for phasing in registration to the five prescribed areas of engineering
  • guidance materials for the Act, including the definition of a ‘professional engineering service’
  • options for setting fees for the registration and endorsement of professional engineers.

The Act will commence on 1 July 2021 and aims to ensure services are provided by professional engineers who have a minimum level of qualification, experience, and professional development.

Consultation on the suite of materials will be available from 26 August until 7 October 2020 at www.engage.vic.gov.au/engineers-registration.
