The largest National Engineering Register (NER) run by the peak engineering body launched last Monday. Registration is accessible to all eligible engineers whether, members or non-members of Engineers Australia. The NER will be the go to register for all government, industry and engineering bodies.
The NER was developed as an initiative by Engineers Australia to provide transparency of an engineer’s experience and qualifications to all consumers of engineering services.
“As an engineer there are a number of reasons to join the register”, said Glen Crawley Registrar, Professional Standards. “The major benefit is that you will have the ability to be found by name, area of practice, and geographic location.
“For the public, the profession, government departments and registration frameworks, the NER will provide assurance that an engineer holds recognised qualifications, minimum levels of experience, currency of continuing professional development, professional indemnity insurance and adherence to Engineer’s Australia’s Code of Ethics”.
As a registrant on the NER you will be on a publicly accessible database providing assurance to consumers and government that the engineers they engage meet the high standards of professionalism expected of any profession.
