Thus, the Board would expect currentpiprofenginA02.paf that a RPEQ would undertake a minimum of 50 hours of structured CPD per year in each area of tengineering for which they are registered Recent amendments to The Professional Engineers Act 2002 received assent on 24 April 2008 and com- menced operation on 1 July 2008. In order to meet the objects of the Act, the Act has been structured to ensure the community is provided with current best practice in determining the appropri- ate level of professional competence required to pro- " vide safe and effective professional engineering ser- Registration Scheme vices. In line with the co-regulatory approach taken between professional engineering bodies and the Asummary of amendments is outlined in this leaflet: ‘The Board recognizes that a number of engineers work in a part-time capacity and the Board would take this into consideration for individual cases. “The Professional Engineers Act 2002 (the Act) is based on a preferred approach for the regulation of professional engineers by means of co-regulation ie joint administration by the engineering profession and a statutory governing body. ‘Through co-regulation, the Act can be kept current with community and professional norms regarding what constitutes an appropriate level of professional competence to provide safe and effective profes- sional services. ‘The main intent behind the recent amendments was to more effectively harness the analysis continuously occurring within the profession to determine and document current expectations regarding profes- sional competence and the process by which profes- sional recognition should be certified. Please take the time to read the leaflet carefully . If you have any concems, queries or suggestions let Us know as effective co-regulation relies on the ac- tive engagement of professional engineers and the community. The Board will continue to provide fo- ‘ums for discussion to ensure the effectiveness of the Act. Professor Elizabeth Taylor AO Board, a new registration scheme in which one or more professional engineering bodies can apply to the Board for approval of their assessment scheme was introduced on 1 July 2008. Under the new scheme, professional engineering bodies apply to the Board for approval of a scheme to assess requirements for registration in any of the approved areas of engineering. Approved bodies will be known as Assessment Entities. Registration The Board will consider an assessment entity's assessment of an engineer's qualifications and experience along with the provisions of the Act as to whether the applicant is fit to practice. Once satisfied, the Board can then proceed to register a suitably qualified engineer. Areas of Engineering ‘Areas of practice for engineers have been removed from the Professional Engineers Regulation 2003 and are now set out in the assessment approved schemes. This amendment wi flexibility in adding new areas of engineering Audits Il commence from 1 July 2010. Fitness to Practice Fitnoss to Practice provisions have been broadened to enable the Board to request: A.written report from the Police Commissioner about the criminal history of an applicant. That a registered engineer undergo a health assessment if the Board reasonably believes that the engineer is currently unable to prac- tice due to the engineer's mental and physical health Amendments also allow for the Board to cancel a RPEQ's registration such as: Ifa health assessment has been requested by the Board and the health assessment re- port given to the Board is that the engineer is, unable to competently or safely practice. Ifa RPEQ has been removed from a register from a non-government registration scheme or in another jurisdiction in Australia or else- where,
