Victoria's Professional Engineers Registration Act has regulated civil engineers working in Victoria since October 2022. The Victorian Act aligns closely with Queensland's Professional Engineers Act. Moves are afoot to introduce similar legislation in NSW and harmonization across all three states would benefit the profession.

IPWEA Victoria has supported hundreds of public works engineers through their transition to a regulated environment. This presentation outlines Victoria's registration and renewal requirements for anyone likely to be subject to the NSW Act.
