在澳大利亚从事工程师工作需要注册吗?

飞出国:在澳大利亚政府的联邦结构中,工程师的注册由各自的州和领地决定。 目前工程师的法定注册仅限于专业工程师。

如果您是专业工程师,则需要在有注册要求的州单独注册。 需要注意的是,每个司法管辖区的确切注册范围是不同的,即使您不居住在特定州,如果您向该州提供工程服务,您仍然可能需要在那里注册。

一般来说,要获得注册,您需要证明您具有专业工程师的基准最低资格,并且已经进行了独立实践的能力评估。 专业工程师的最低资格是华盛顿协议认可的学位或同等学历。

Within the federal structure of Australian Government, registration of engineers is determined by the respective states and territories. Currently statutory registration of engineers is restricted to professional engineers.

If you are a professional engineer, you are required to register in each state individually where a registration scheme exists. It is important to note that the precise scope of registration in each jurisdiction is different and even if you do not reside in a particular state, if you are providing engineering services to that state, you still may require registration there.

In general, to become registered you will need to demonstrate you have the benchmarked minimum qualification for a professional engineer and have had a competency assessment for independent practice. The minimum qualification of a professional engineer is a Washington Accord recognised degree or equivalent.
