The issue with insurance requirements for engineers Engineers Australia submission – NSW Reforming Building Laws
This paper clarifies the reasons why Engineers Australia does not support some of the existing provisions in the Design and Building Practitioners Act, proposed provisions in the Building Bill, and suggests an alternative way forward for the NSW Government.
Registration of Engineers in NSW Engineers Australia NSW Reforming Building Laws submission
This document provides Engineers Australia’s feedback to the proposed Building Bill 2022, specifically in relation to the registration of professional engineers. This should be read in conjunction with Engineers Australia’s NSW Reforming Building Laws submission and The issue with insurance requirements for engineers submission.
Engineering Australia’s productivity
This submission puts forward three areas which should be considered by the Productivity Commission in their review on ways Australia can improve productivity into the future.
Engineers Australia submission to ACT professional engineer registration scheme
Engineers Australia's response to the proposed ACT Professional Engineer Registration Scheme 2022.
Strengthening the engineering workforce in Australia
Women in engineering
Identifying avenues for increasing female participation in engineering, by understanding the motivators and barriers around entry and progression.
Commercialisation of engineering innovation
Despite having one of the world’s most educated and wealthy populations, Australia remains a chronic underperformer when it comes to the commercialisation of engineering innovation.
Enhancing productivity in infrastructure delivery
This document provides recommendations for implementation by Australian governments, in collaboration with industry and academia, to increase productivity in the infrastructure sector and to determine how engineers can best contribute to these aspirations.
Increasing women's participation in engineering education: actions for change
Engineering should be as diverse as the people it serves. For all Australian workplaces, diversity is good for culture and outcomes. Businesses thrive with a mix of ideas and views from people with different backgrounds and experiences. This paper explores actions for change.
Energy governance and the engineering voice
Barriers to employment for migrant engineers
Overseas-born engineers make up over 58 per cent of Australia’s engineering workforce but are significantly more likely than their Australian-born counterparts to be unemployed. To find out why and identify how to overcome the barriers to employment these engineers face, Engineers Australia commissioned research to identify potential barriers to employment.
Australia's skilled migration program
In this submission, Engineers Australia demonstrates that demand for engineers in Australia will always outstrip supply from domestic entry level graduates. A skilled migration program will, therefore, always be needed.
Barriers to participation in engineering and the value of interventions to improve diversity
Despite considerable effort, there is still much to be done to improve girls’ participation in STEM education and careers. The Engineering for Australia Taskforce has appreciated the need to act based on four issues they have identified. This paper reviews the international research literature that not only focuses on barriers to girls’ participation in engineering, but more importantly focuses on the value of interventions to improve diverse participation in engineering.
Federal budget
Engineers Australia's pre-budget submission for the 2017-18 federal budget.
The state of the engineering profession: engineering in Australia
Engineers Australia's insights for 2017, specifically the change required to realise the country’s political, social and economic aspirations.
Engineers make things happen: the need for an engineering pipeline strategy
Engineers Australian examines the need for an engineering pipeline strategy.
Women in engineering: 2017
The purpose of this project was to investigate, identify and assess the barriers confronting women in engineering in order to find ways to redress the underrepresentation of women in the profession. This was completed as a partnership with Engineers Australia and Monash University as part of the Monash Industry Team Initiative (MITI) project.
