Rehabilitation engineering in Australia
This paper is intended to promote a nationwide discussion among existing rehabilitation engineers by suggesting a definition and scope of practice for the field in the Australian context. It is hoped that this discussion will help to foster a national identity and to provide a means of establishing broader connections within the field.
Registration of engineers: a case for statutory registration
Building confidence: how to use engineers to improve building and construction
Report on the fire safety verification model
Fire safety engineers from across Australia tested the Fire Safety Verification Method (FSVM) in the 2019 National Construction Code, using six different typical case studies of performance-based designs that were typical of projects being undertaken at the time. They followed the methodology in the FSVM and associated handbook to identify the benefits and disadvantages of this approach.
Transport engineering education
This discussion paper is intended to guide the benchmarking of transport engineering streams in Civil Engineering Bachelor degree programs in Australia.
Acknowledgement of Country: a guide for the engineering profession
This guide has been developed to support the engineering profession in respectfully acknowledging country and Indigenous communities in a meaningful way. It encourages all to share the remarkable story of Indigenous engineering – both the very long lineage of Indigenous knowledge and engineering, along with the contribution of contemporary Indigenous engineers.
Proposed changes to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation
Engineers Australia welcomes the NSW Government’s work in establishing a better regulatory model for building certification through the Government’s implementation of the findings from the Lambert Review, and from those recommendations the changes to the abovementioned regulations.

Engineers Australia response to the Review of Environmental Factors for Newcastle Light Rail
Engineers Australia has examined the REF for the Proposed Newcastle Light Rail (NLR) and has concluded that the Proposal does not satisfy the key transport and urban design objectives for which it has been planned (the NTUPP), that it fails to deliver an integrated transport system and that alternatives are available which can meet these objectives and this integration.
