    About the Board

    The Board is an independent statutory body established under the Professional Engineers Act 2002 (Qld) (PE Act) and administers the PE Act on behalf of Queensland Government.

    As the first engineering regulatory body established in Australia, the Board is responsible for regulating the vast and multi-faceted engineering profession across the state, through a fair and consistent set of standards, designed to uphold the highest engineering conduct. Our core function is to provide for the registration of individuals as Registered Professional Engineers of Queensland (RPEQ). Registration helps safeguard the public and distinguishes qualified, competent and experienced professional engineers.

    We also investigate complaints about and take disciplinary action against RPEQs whose conduct fails to meet the high standard of technical expertise and professional conduct; investigate and prosecute breaches of the PE Act; and provide advice to government about matters related to engineering.
