The Architects Registration Board of Victoria (ARBV) is empowered by the
Architects Act 1991 to:
- register architects and approve architectural companies and
partnerships
- on behalf of the public, regulate the professional conduct of
architects by investigating complaints against architects and referring
serious professional conduct matters to inquiry by the Architects
Tribunal
- investigate breaches of the title provisions of the Act and
allegations of non-architects "holding out" to be architects
- determine architectural qualifications and accredit courses
- conduct examinations for registration
- require Architects to be registered and require Practising
Architects to provide proof of compliant Professional Indemnity
insurance cover
These legislated powers enable the ARBV to act on behalf of consumers.
Consumers can check whether someone can legitimately call themselves an
Architect by consulting the Register
of architects, architectural companies and partnerships.
The brochure
Working with your Architect
