New South Wales Consolidated Acts

ARCHITECTS ACT 2003 - SECT 17

17 Full registration as architect

(1) An individual is entitled to be registered as an architect if:

(a) the Board is satisfied that the individual is of good fame and character, and

(b) the individual has the necessary qualifications for registration as an architect, and

(c) the Board is satisfied that the individual has acquired such practical experience required by the Board as a prerequisite for entry to the examination referred to in paragraph (d), and

(d) the individual has, to the satisfaction of the Board, passed an examination in architectural practice arranged or approved by the Board.

(2) Registration under this section is "full registration".

(3) An entitlement to full registration does not prevent conditions being imposed on that registration in accordance with this Act.

Note: By virtue of section 20 of the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 of the Commonwealth, a person is entitled to be registered as an architect if the person is registered in another State or a Territory for an equivalent occupation (if that State or Territory participates in the mutual recognition scheme). The entitlement arises once the person lodges a notice under section 19 of that Act and, until registered under this Act, the person is then deemed (by section 25 of that Act) to be registered. See also the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997 of the Commonwealth.
