Whether you are providing professional engineering services will come down to specific work being undertaken and the technical knowledge that is required to make technical decisions. We recommend that you assess your specific situation against the following guidelines:
- Ministerial guideline on the scope of engineering services within each of the prescribed areas of engineering
- Guidance material on when professional engineering services are being provided under direction and oversight [596.5 KB]
- Guidance material on when professional engineering services are being provided in accordance with a prescriptive standard [816.2 KB]
You can also seek advice from an approved assessment entity or your industry peak bodies. The ACT Government recommends registration if you are providing professional engineering services in a prescribed area of engineering.
