Mutual Recognition
Under Australian Commonwealth, State/Territory legislation and New Zealand legislation, designed to facilitate free trade in services, if you are registered as an architect in any Australian jurisdiction, or in New Zealand, you may apply for registration within Australia and New Zealand under these mutual recognition provisions without repeating steps 2 and 3.
You should contact the Board in the State or Territory in which second or subsequent registration is sought to determine application procedures and applicable fees.
