Submission

The Academy has made a submission to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly Committee on Environment and Planning inquiry into the Professional Engineers Registration Bill

ATSE strongly welcomes the NSW Professional Engineers Registration Bill 2019. Following similar Acts in Queensland (2002) and Victoria (2019), professional engineers’ registration in New South Wales would further strengthen the nation’s trust and confidence in the work of professional engineers.

The provisions of the Bill covering the education, experience and continuing professional development (CPD) of registered professional engineers are consistent with those in the other States, as is critical for a nationally and globally mobile profession.
