Reasons for Statutory Regulation of Architects

 

-         The purpose of Architects legislation is to protect the public.

 

-         The legislation does not restrict practice, only title – anyone can compete with architects.

 

-         Under statutory regulation, there is national consistency of the education and experience requirements to call oneself an architect.

 

-     Statutory regulation facilitates Australia’s international trade in services –approximately 20% of all architects fees earned in Australia (by those insured by the RAIA Insurance Brokers Ltd) is derived from overseas commissions.

 

-         Architects’ legislation facilitates the export of architectural education – over 20% of enrolments in undergraduate courses at Australian Schools of Architecture are international students.
