In each State and Territory of Australia it is a legal requirement that any person using the title 'architect' or offering services to the public as an architect, must be registered with the Architects' Board in that jurisdiction.
Within the provisions of the Architects Act 1991 and Architects Regulations 2004, if you wish to use the title 'architect' or the 'architectural services', 'architectural design' or 'architectural design services' for business purposes in Victoria you must be registered with the Architects Registration Board of Victoria (ARBV) and comply with the provisions of the Act.
The key requirements for registration are:
- A Bachelor of Architecture degree or approved equivalent
- At least two years of practical experience
- Successful completion of the Architectural Practice Examination (APE)
- Registration by the Architects Registration Board
Architectural companies and partnerships must also be approved separate from individual registration.
New Victorian applicants please check requirements for the APE. |

- A photocopy of your original degree certificate or equivalent certified evidence of completion of a degree in architecture
- Evidence of registration or a statement of registered status from the relevant Board
- A brief curriculum vitae
- A completed Application for Registration form obtainable from the ARBV
