Board
Introduction
The National Engineering Registration Board (the Board) was established jointly by the Institution of Engineers, Australia (Engineers Australia), the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia (APESMA) and the Consult Australia. The Board, with representation from State and Territory Governments, Community Organisations and Professional Associations, supervises the operation of National Registers to ensure the community is provided with the protection it is entitled to expect in relation to work undertaken by those practitioners. These registers are:
- The National Professional Engineers Register (NPER), which is a joint initiative of Engineers Australia, APESMA and the ACEA;
- The National Engineering Technologists Register (NETR), which was established by Engineers Australia to register Engineering Technologists; and
- The National Engineering Associates Register (NEAR), which was established by Engineers Australia to register Engineering Associates; and
- Any National Register that the Board shall establish in accordance with its Terms of Reference.
The Registers are administered by Engineers Australia on behalf of relevant professional associations.
Currently more than 10,500 engineering practitioners are registered by the Board in 17 areas of practice throughout Australia and internationally.
