Re-registration
Non-practising or deregistered architects who now wish to be reinstated to full registration on the Register of Architects must complete the below form and comply with the prescribed conditions for application.
Conditions on re-registration as a practising architect may apply depending on how long you have been deregistered:
- 0-3 years: Automatic processing of application if the applicant meets the CPD requirement for their particular circumstances (Refer Factsheet on Continuing Professional Development for CPD requirements for reinstatement to the Register). The applicant may be required, at the discretion of the Registrar, to provide additional supporting documentation in the form of a current CV showing employment history and a record of CPD undertaken in the 12-24 months prior to the application for re-registration.
- 3-5 years: Applicants are required to submit a current CV showing employment history and demonstrate that they have, within the last 12-month period, completed a minimum of 20 hours of CPD, of which at least 10 hours must be Formal CPD. At least 3 hours of the 10 hours of Formal CPD must address the mandatory topics (Refer Factsheet on Continuing Professional Development for more information on CPD requirements in NSW). If the CPD record is not current, the applicant may be required, at the discretion of the Registrar, to undertake specific NSW ARB-delivered Formal CPD, or to attend a refresher course in professional practice, and/or may be required to attend a re-registration interview.
- 5+ years: Applicants are required to submit a current CV showing employment history and demonstrate that they have, within the last 12-month period, completed a minimum of 20 hours of CPD, of which at least 10 hours must be Formal CPD. At least 3 hours of the 10 hours of Formal CPD must address the mandatory topics (Refer Factsheet on Continuing Professional Development for more information on CPD requirements in NSW). They are also likely to be required, at the discretion of the Registrar, to undertake specific NSW ARB-delivered Formal CPD, or to attend a refresher course in professional practice prior to re-registration.
