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.
Overseas architects
Overseas architects wishing to register please consult the AACA website. Overseas qualifications must be approved via the AACA process of review as there is no reciprocity between Australia and other countries (except for New Zealand). Overseas architects must also satisfactorily complete the Architectural Practice Examination (APE). |
