Understanding PERS

SAE-A invites you to attend our webinar on Understanding PERS. If you are required to become a registered engineer in Victoria this is where you can find out more about the scheme and how you will be assessed by SAE-A!

SAE-A is an assessment entity for mechanical engineers in Victoria. This is a service provided to both SAE-A members and non-members.

The PERS Act 2019 in Victoria requires any person who provides professional engineering services to be registered unless they work under the direct supervision of a professional engineer who is registered to practise or work only in accordance with a prescriptive standard (which is very rare).

The Act addresses four requirements:

• Adequately provides for the assessment of qualifications and competencies of engineers in an identifiable area of engineering i.e., structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, or fire safety engineering.
• Is consistent with national and international standards for the recognition of professional engineers.
• Includes procedures for the assessment of applicants for registration and endorsement that are conducted in an independent, confidential  and professional manner.
• Includes adequate CPD (Continuing Professional Development) requirements for professional engineers and an effective audit program to ensure registration and endorsement requirements are met.

This event = 1 CPD point.

The link to the webinar will be shared in the confirmation email following registration.
