OBS_VALUE: Currently there is no uniform regulatory regime covering engineers in Australia. Queensland is the only State where engineers must be registered to provide professional engineering services. In 2018 New South Wales Government has also introduced registration for engineers. National Engineering Registration Board (NERB), Helping Professionals Migrate to Australia administers the voluntary registration of engineers and sets standards of competence. The current registration system is ad hoc and largely voluntary. There is no restriction on the use of the title of engineer.The Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 No 7 that will take effect in its entirety as from July 2021, makes it compulsory for engineers to be registered (https://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/#/view/act/2020/7)
