Under paragraph 10(1)(b) of the Act, a person is entitled to enter an engineering field if the person meets the qualifications and skills required by the Act. Website: www.cibse.org/membership/bpeq-registration Phone: +44 20 8772 3651 Email: membership@cibse.org Before the board approves registration or renewal, a person must satisfy the board that they are fit for work. This is demonstrated by one of the following six elements. Registration as a Chartered Professional Engineer under any applicable law in the Commonwealth, any other state or territory of Australia or any other country has been revoked or suspended by the appropriate registrar: The Commission accepts applications for registration under section 8 of the Act. Under section 9 of the Act, an applicant is eligible to register only if: The refusal or cancellation of registration or certification as an engineer by a professional body would constitute grounds for refusal of registration or renewal of registration. However, the Board would be required to consider a new application for registration if the conditions for the applicant have changed. For example, a person under the age of 18 (b) may have applied and subsequently gained additional experience. By meeting the TNS requirements and registering with the QPP, you demonstrate that you meet the minimum legal requirements to practice under Queensland`s Professional Engineers Act, giving confidence to the community and employers. It is important to note that Chartered`s status remains our badge of world-class competence and international value that all practising engineers should strive for. Charter status also remains a pathway to accreditation for the QPP. Our evaluation standards for the MIChemE certified member also meet the requirements of the QPEP. There are four options, depending on your current membership level: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is the agency of the Commonwealth government that regulates Australian aviation safety. CASA employees who hold a CASA Power of Attorney may register as an RPEQ in the field of aeronautical engineering.
Rejection or cancellation of registration or licensing in another jurisdiction may be grounds for refusal of registration. The commission would refuse to register or renew the registration if, as a result of the investigation, it finds that the person is, for example, guilty of bankruptcy. evidence such as unethical behaviour that results in significant losses to creditors, There are two types of registration; To practice and not to practice. In order to provide professional engineering services, a QPP must have the status of a practising company. Non-practitioner status is for QPPs who are not currently working as engineers (e.g., career breaks or parental leave). Membership or accreditation by a professional body (e.g. Engineers Australia) is not registration and does not entitle an engineer to apply for mutual recognition. If medical issues such as mental and physical health are raised by the Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland, the Board will require a medical certificate that the person is able to practise before registering or renewing registration. There is no review fee for certified members to join NER, while other Engineers Australia members must pay a grading fee of $330.
There is an annual fee of $96 to maintain registration for the TNS. The Act is extraterritorial, meaning that RPEQ registration is still required for all professional engineering services provided interstate or overseas, but destined for Queensland, Australia. This new, streamlined and cost-effective pathway meets the competency requirements to apply for the QPP, which is your legal obligation to practice independently as an engineer in Queensland. Part 2 of the Act, Registration of Professional Engineers of Queensland (RPEQ), provides a framework for the Council to receive and assess applications for registration. Renewal requests are automatically accepted up to 1 month before expiry, and the Committee may accept applications at any time before expiry if it deems it appropriate. When deciding whether to grant an extension, the Commission shall take into account the same issues as for the initial registration. Upon acceptance, the applicant will receive a new Certificate of Registration (Form 1 – Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland Policy Registration Certificate). If the extension is refused, the Board issues an information notice (section 19) to notify the applicant. Renewals and continuing competencies The registration period is the fiscal year and the board of directors must send a notice of extension in accordance with § 17 (Official Gazette 3 – Application for renewal of registration) at least three months before the expiry. Engineers can apply for registration through mutual recognition at the following address: The Board will refuse to register or renew registration if, upon receipt of reports from insolvency administrators, liquidators or administrators, there are concerns about questionable transactions, improper preferences, insolvent transactions or fraudulent conduct on the part of the applicant for registration or renewal.
Qualification and competence shall be assessed by an approved assessment body. The following organizations are authorized to conduct assessments on behalf of the QOAP to determine eligibility for registration and the field of engineering in which an RPEQ is registered: We encourage all members to review the simple requirements for the NRT and submit their application for recognition. Applications may also be made under the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 2003 (Queensland) and the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 (Queensland) (fm1.1.1). Applicants must be registered with an intergovernmental or New Zealand registration authority in an equivalent profession. Each application for registration as a Chartered Professional Engineer has been refused by each registrar: Website: www.istructe.org Phone: +44 (0)20 7235 4535 Email: membership@istructe.org The added benefit of the TNS is that you are in the largest publicly searchable register in the country, maintained by the profession`s umbrella organization. The current list of relevant engineering fields and assessment bodies can be found on the NEB website www.bpeq.qld.gov.au To maintain your registration, you must meet certain CPD requirements Mutual recognition is a process that allows individuals authorized or registered to practise a profession in one province or territory to practise an equivalent profession in other jurisdictions.

Engineers perform very complex work and, like many other professions, it is appropriate that they uphold and maintain high standards of professional practice. The MOU Act requires that any person providing professional engineering services in or for Queensland (for example, a design project undertaken interstate or overseas for a Queensland-based project) must meet these standards and then be registered as an RPEQ. This ensures that only qualified, competent and experienced professionals design, build, maintain and develop the products, infrastructure and services we use every day. Your application will be reviewed and sent to CIBSE Australia for evaluation.
An engineering service that requires or is based on the application of principles and technical data to a design or engineering-related design, production, operation or maintenance activity (see p. 113 of the PE Act). Engineers who believe they are eligible for mutual recognition registration should contact BPEQ.

Deed of Business Arrangement (DoCA), Liquidation or Receivership: Form 2 – Application for Registration – Version 5 (January 2021) QPEPs are registered in one or more engineering fields related to their qualification and competence. Recognized fields include: construction, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mining and structure. Once your interview is successful, CIBSE will give you a letter of admission that you can submit to BPEQ. Once you have been assessed and have obtained a positive result for the NER, you will need to apply for RPEQ through the Board of Professional Engineers Queensland. Qualification and competence assessed by an approved assessment body. This article was originally published in April 2016. For more information, see Engineers Australia`s Queensland registration information.
As of January 2022, CIBSE is an accredited assessment body to conduct assessments on behalf of the Board of Professional Engineers Queensland. Registration can be requested from CIBSE as an electrical or mechanical engineer. You will be invited to an interview with at least one QPP interviewer. You must be prepared to demonstrate how to apply and gain local engineering knowledge. CIBSE Australia will charge you a fee that:.
