Engineering responses to climate change roundtable
Engineers Australia held a climate change roundtable in Sydney on 26 February 2020, attended by many leading industry groups and organisations. This report summarises the major findings and discussions.
Report on the fire safety verification model
Fire safety engineers from across Australia tested the Fire Safety Verification Method (FSVM) in the 2019 National Construction Code, using six different typical case studies of performance-based designs that were typical of projects being undertaken at the time. They followed the methodology in the FSVM and associated handbook to identify the benefits and disadvantages of this approach.

The engineering profession: a statistical overview, 14th edition
This report aims to contribute to an understanding of Australia’s engineering profession by compiling statistics about engineers in Australia. The statistical overview fills a gap created by the fragmented nature of Australian official statistics as they relate to specific professions and occupational groups.
Australia’s engineering capability: how the last ten years will influence the future
This report analyses and presents statistics describing the characteristics and size of Australia’s engineering profession over the period 2006 to 2016. It is the first report covering the three population censuses over the boom and bust cycle during these years.
Engineers and industry: a decade of change
This report examines the size, growth and character of engineering industry employment in Australia to improve the understanding of the dynamics of the engineering profession. The number of engineers working in different industries has changed over the decade 2006 to 2016 as the economy has continued a slow transition from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based economy.

Proposed changes to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation
Engineers Australia welcomes the NSW Government’s work in establishing a better regulatory model for building certification through the Government’s implementation of the findings from the Lambert Review, and from those recommendations the changes to the abovementioned regulations.
Engineers make things happen: the need for an engineering pipeline strategy
Engineers Australian examines the need for an engineering pipeline strategy.
The future of Australian electricity generation
A transition plan should consider all options, and transforming Australia’s electricity generation is not a matter of choosing just one technology for the future. It is using a combination of existing and emerging technologies, in a structural policy environment consistent with emissions reductions and meeting the demand for electricity. A secure energy future will be reliant on these policy approaches being successfully deployed.
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.
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.
Accreditation framework for competent building certifiers
Engineers Australia's comments on the draft ‘Accreditation Framework’ that would outline the process by which industry schemes are deemed to provide ‘competent practitioners’ in NSW for building certifiers.
