Introduction to volunteering at Engineers Australia
This document is intended to help our office bearers – and those considering volunteering – to understand our requirements and guide them as they work in partnership with other parts of the team to deliver our strategy and goals.
Australia's Migration Program: review of the points test
Our submission to the review of the points test includes recommendations such as the development of a model for the requirements of the Professional Year in Engineering program, increasing points for those who gain employment following the program, prioritisation of skills needed and consideration of funding for initiatives like our Global Engineering Talent program.

Submission to changes proposed for South Australia’s Climate Change and Greenhouse Emissions Reduction Act 2007
Engineers Australia believes an urgent transition in the construction and built environment sectors is required to meet the proposed ambitious goals within the designated time frame. We are committed to supporting the South Australian Government to achieve its climate change targets.
Submission to the inquiry into the transition to electric vehicles
The task of decarbonising the transport sector is urgent and Engineers Australia commends the government for focussing on this important element of the energy transition. In this submission we call for measures to address the upfront costs of EVs and the availability of charging infrastructure, among other factors.
Climate Active Program submission
Engineers Australia fully supports the scheme and endorses the intent of this consultation opportunity to increase the certification standards contained therein. We provide four recommendations for the program to consider.
Professional standards framework
The Engineers Australia Professional Standards Framework is the integrated system of policies, processes and resources that guide and support engineers to practice engineering ethically, competently and responsibly. It applies throughout their careers from pre-qualification through to advanced practice and executive management and leadership and is designed to set, uphold and enhance standards that protect the public and build resilience and trust in the profession.
AI in education submission to parliamentary inquiry
Engineers Australia’s submission provides feedback on the terms of reference focusing on how Generative AI tools will impact engineering education.
National Hydrogen Strategy Review: Engineers Australia submission
The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water are reviewing the National Hydrogen Strategy, first published in 2019. Engineers Australia's submission to the review includes information about the potential for hydrogen to be an important contributor to our transition to net zero through use in industry, transport, grid firming, chemicals and metals production.
Engineering an AI framework for schools
Engineers Australia advocates for a balanced approach to the regulation and use of AI, to allow the benefits to be harnessed while safeguarding professionals, educators, students and the community.
National Framework for Recycled Content Traceability
Engineers Australia's response to the proposed National Framework for Recycled Content Traceability Discussion Paper.
Practice Standard for Professional Engineers Submission
Engineers Australia raises concerns about the standard’s regulations which we argue place unrealistic obligations on individual employees to the NSW Building Commission.
Systems engineering
Systems engineering deals with the interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realisation of successful systems.
Clean energy workforce capacity study
The Australian Government has commissioned Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) to undertake a capacity study on the workforce needs for Australia's transition to a clean energy economy. JSA is identifying the pathways to develop the required skills and training, the contribution of the migration program and how opportunities are shared across regions and incorporate diversity. Our submission draws on the work we have done in strengthening the engineering workforce in Australia, women in engineering and reducing the barriers for migrant engineers.
Guide for design engineers and building certifiers
This guide takes an in-principle approach, laying out best practice in terms of communication, problem solving, record keeping and teamwork, which design engineers and building certifiers will find helpful.
Managing building defects: roles, responsibilities and collaboration among owners, strata managers and engineers
This document is intended to provide high-level guidance on the obligations, responsibilities, and areas of expertise of owners, strata managers and engineers over the lifecycle of a building.
Pathway to diversity in STEM review dialogue starter
Engineers Australia calls for diversity and inclusion efforts driven by commitment from organisational leaders and support from government.
