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.

Fuel efficiency standard submission
The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communication and the Arts has conducted a consultation on the key elements of an Australian Fuel Efficiency Standard. This is an important initiative to cut costs and reduce the carbon pollution from Australia’s cars and light commercial vehicles. This consultation builds on the work done in developing the National Electric Vehicle Strategy to which Engineers Australia also made a submission.
Decarbonising infrastructure: submission to Infrastructure Victoria
Engineers Australia recommends Infrastructure Victoria looks for consistency in collaboration with other Infrastructure bodies, and that they review Infrastructure Australia’s 2022 Replacement Materials report which shines a light on opportunities to use recycled materials in road infrastructure.
Enhancing Australia's migration program
Engineers Australia's response to questions posed by the Department of Home Affairs about Australia's migration program.
Inquiry into plastic pollution in Australia’s oceans and waterways
Engineers Australia welcomes the opportunity to submit a response into the Inquiry into plastic pollution in Australia’s oceans and waterways. Plastic pollution is of course more widespread than in aquatic ecosystems alone however it is in marine environments that the effect of plastic pollution is most widely observed.
Employment White Paper submission
Engineers Australia’s submission to the Employment White Paper focuses on three major concerns. First, the Federal Government needs to implement national consistency on registration schemes for engineers. Second, Australia is facing an acute shortage of critical engineering skills which needs to be addressed now. Third, we need to look into different business models for productivity in order to meet demand for the supply of engineers.
Engineers Australia assessment scheme for the Board of Professional Engineers Queensland
This document details Engineers Australia’s requirements to be assessed for independent practice as a professional engineer and demonstrates how this also satisfies BPEQ’s eligibility requirements.
