STEP 1: Self-Assessment

• Select your occupational category
• Select your Area of Practice that you want to become chartered in. Pick the one that is best aligned to your particular Area of Practice.
• Enter your Level of Ability for each of the 16 competencies. The level will be either Functional or Above.

You can rate yourself as ‘developing’ in any of the competencies. Information submitted can be updated later.

STEP 2: Industry Review

• Check with an experienced manager or mentor to get an honest opinion as to whether you are ready for being chartered.
• For submitting your industry review, you need a reviewer* that will support the ratings given by you to each of the 16 competencies [in Step 1].
• You can also select multiple reviewers.
• Tell briefly as to why you have given the specific rating to yourself, what evidence you will be submitting later, and why you think that evidence will help. Evidence should not be more than 10 years old at the time of submission.
• Once you have been rated as Functional/Above in all of the 16 competencies, you will get the “Apply for Chartered” option on your Industry Review profile.
• Now, you are ready for enrolment.

*Usually, Industry Reviewers are chartered members of Engineers Australia or those with 7+ years of relevant experience.

STEP 3: Enroll for Chartered

• You will need soft copies of your Photo ID and a latest detailed CV. You will also need a Credit Card for making the payment.
• For enrollment, you must be a Member of Engineers Australia.
• You must also have 5+ years of post-graduate experience in the industry.
• Confirm Area of Practice, upload documents and read and confirm Terms and Conditions.
• Make the payment. A confirmation email will be sent.
• Once an Assessor has gone through your application, you will be contacted directly – via a phone call – to discuss with you the documentary evidence.

STEP 4: Chartered Evidence

• An assessor will place a phone call to you for discussing the evidence that you have proposed to provide. You can make use of the phone call to ask for answers to any questions that you might be having regarding the process.
• Have with you the list of evidence that you have proposed to submit.
