Joining

Ingenieurs Australia Society
Formal Commencement Announcement
– Professional Engineers Invited to Join

After being present on LinkedIn for a number of years as the “Ingenieurs Australia Society – for All Australian Professional Engineers” group, the Society is also now to commence regular Melbourne / Australia wide based activities during 2020, after Incorporating in Victoria as a Not for Profit Association. If you wish to be a full member and part of this new phase of the IngAust Society please read on!

Now that the Covid 19 pandemic has abated and public meetings are allowed, the Society, exclusively for Professional Engineers, will be holding regular multi-disciplinary technical seminars, mainly via Zoom and some public meetings, for CPD and membership networking covering all of the engineering disciplines. We shall focus on subjects relevant and important to the future of Australia and the engineering profession.  Our seminars will give you the opportunity to network and meet colleagues and make new friends across a broad range of ages and experience. The purposes of the association are to act as a Fraternal, Learned, Community Service and Public Relations society to enhance Australian Professional Engineers and promote them within Australia and Internationally. This while acting as the unifying society for all Australian Professional Engineers, regardless of other professional organisations to which they belong. The Society’s overall aim is to help Professional Engineers in developing a sustainable world.

The Society’s basic membership level is free of charge.

Definition of “Professional Engineer”. This was set as part of the early 1960s’ Professional Engineers Work Value Salary Case in the Australian Industrial Relations arena. Professional Engineers are people who hold qualifications for the achievement of GradIEAust or equivalent or higher. More recently, international qualifications certified within the Washington Accord, of which EA is a part, have also been included. Typically, these days such a qualification would be a graduate of a BEng degree from a University. Prior to 1980, other GradIEAust qualifications as certified by EA as being similar to the BEng degree at the time are also included (Eg Associate Diploma of Communication Engineering from RMIT awarded around 1960s – In more recent years the Associate Diploma title has been taken over by Engineering Associates to be used for some of their sub-professional qualifications).
