Get on board: nominations open for 2 elected architects
The NSW Architects Registration Board (ARB) administers the Architects Act 2003, the legislation regulating architects in NSW.
The NSW Department of Finance, Services and Innovation has released the draft Architects Regulation 2017 (draft Regulation) and accompanying Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) for public consultation on the NSW Have Your Say website: https://www.nsw.gov.au/improving-nsw/have-your-say/draft-architects-regulation-2017/
Each year, the NSW Architects Registration Board receives applications from architects for all sorts of things. It may be an application for an exemption from completing continuing professional development due to prolonged illness, surgery or personal circumstance. In some cases, applications are supported by a doctor’s certificate. In a few cases, the applications relate to mental illness.
How does the Architects Act work? What’s the Board’s role in compliance and enforcement? How does it apply to architects? How does it apply to non-architects? How does the complaints process work? What are strategies to avoid complaints in the first place? What does the evidence show?
