Benefits of Registration

You will be identified as a `Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland' and you will be entitled to use or publish this title or the abbreviation `RPEQ'.

The Board provides protection for registered professional engineers ensuring that unqualified people cannot practise in Queensland. Your name will be published in the Roll of Registered Professional Engineers of Queensland. These Rolls are distributed to Local Authorities for their reference when considering building approvals. Government Departments also use the Rolls for reference when engaging consultants.

You will be accredited, if applicable-

to practise as a consulting engineer;
to provide certificates under the Building Code of Australia as mechanical and structural engineers;
as an engineer under the Queensland Building Services Authority Act 1991;
under the Subcontractors Charges Act 1974; and
as a professional engineer on the Register of Fire Systems Certifiers.
