You must be practising as a professional engineer, engineering technologist or engineering associate.
If you don’t meet all the requirements, you can still join by passing our competency assessment.
How to join
Head to our member portal to get started. You need ID – such as a passport photo page, current driver licence or copy of your birth certificate – plus your degree certificate (testamur), your academic transcript, or a previous assessment letter from us along with your current CV.
If you’re a member of an overseas reciprocal organisation, you can apply through a mutual recognition agreement.
What if you don’t immediately qualify?
You can still apply for membership by completing a competency assessment. This is for qualifications we are unable to recognise, approve or accredit, such as some courses undertaken overseas.
It takes approximately four weeks to review and approve these applications for membership.
