Join us to help engineer a better future for your profession


APEA provides advocacy, partnership and support to the engineering community. Our track record speaks for itself. In 2019, we helped to lobby for the introduction of a new registration scheme for engineering in Victoria. The Professional Engineers Registration Act 2019 will require engineers who are providing professional services, or who are exporting professional engineering services from Victoria, to be registered.

We influence public policy


Below is a snapshot of some of our recent campaigns. We will continue to advocate strongly for Australia’s engineers so that the appropriate recognition and support become the status quo industry-wide.

  • Professionals Australia’s Better Infrastructure document details the single biggest issue impacting Australian infrastructure: Waste. The report also details a range of solutions which we are taking to governments around the nation.
  • Our campaign for Integrity in Defence calls on the federal government to guarantee national security and keep personnel safe. How? By increasing Australia’s engineering and technical capacity, we can better deliver and maintain defence capability.
  • Our Business of Skilled Migration report details the importance of skilled migration in filling skills shortages in our national engineering capacity.
