Professional Engineers Registration (Victoria)

The Victorian Government has also introduced the Professional Engineers Registration Act 2019 from 1 July 2021, requiring Councils to undertake due diligence reviews of their operations to ensure compliance with the new Act.

Registration will be required for those Engineers who engage in “professional engineering services” and provides an important consumer-protection initiative that will give individuals and organisations confidence and assurance that the people they hire are properly trained and experienced and are maintaining their skills.

Associate Professional Engineers providing engineering opinion or advice will have to be registered from October 2022, so preparation needs to commence now in your transition to registration.

COVID-19 and Vaccinations

The CT Management Group is monitoring the various State Governments roadmaps out of COVID-19 restrictions.

We acknowledge and thank our Associates for meeting the challenges that COVID-19 has presented and your efforts in maintaining our services to Councils.

In all states and territories some form of restriction is being applied to business and the return to full employment via vaccination.

The CT Management Group, in responding to proposals for placements and projects, is beginning to receive requests from Councils requesting the vaccination status of staff and Associates attending Council offices.

We envisage the expectation in the coming months may be double vaccination prior to entering Council premises or working for Council as an Associate.

Associate OH&S Awareness

Associates are reminded of the Associate Occupational Health and Safety Guidelines available on the Associate Portal. CT Management Group has engaged each associate as an independent contractor and will appropriately consider and monitor the health and safety of its associates.

At this time, we encourage all Associates to be aware of the advice surrounding the Coronavirus and to be sure to act accordingly. Should you become aware of a workplace potential risk through your Placement or Project appointment please advise our office in order that we can follow up the concern or risk.

Further important information is available at health.gov.au or the Health Information line 1800 020 080.
