The Association of Professional Engineers Australia – your voice in the workplace

About Us

The Association of Professional Engineers Australia (APEA) is a union and professional association. We are run by engineers, for engineers.

When you join APEA, you can feel secure in the knowledge that your work issues, health, education and legal rights are backed by an organisation that understands the challenges and unique regulatory landscape of your profession. In fact, we have been looking out for engineers for nearly 70 years.

APEA gives our members a strong, collective voice to successfully campaign for better pay and working conditions – and therefore a better future.



But that’s not all APEA stands for. But APEA stands for so much more.

We also want to help our members build amazing and fulfilling careers. To achieve this, we provide a range of cost-effective accreditation programs and continuing professional development opportunities that give our members the professional edge they need to get ahead in a competitive market.

Join Now to be part of a team that is committed to making the engineering profession stronger, better and more secure for its workers.
