The Institute’s 2022 Federal Election Policy Statement is a call to the next Australian Parliament to take action on issues that are critical for Australia’s future.
The decisions made in the next few years will impact on generations to come. The Institute looks forward to working closely with the next Australian Government and offers its advice and support to help achieve the best outcomes for Australia.
The way local and interstate architects work in New South Wales has changed.
The DBP Act and Regulation are a key part of the NSW Government response to the Shergold Weir Report. They’re aimed at overhauling the building and construction industry to restore public confidence and ensure quality and safety outcomes.
We’re working hard in the background to liaise with government as the reforms roll out, and to develop comprehensive resources to support members.
From cladding/ACPs to inadequate registration; from self-certification to inequitable risk allocation in contracts; the state of Australia’s construction industry is worrying, and the solution complex but the simple reality is the need for urgent regulatory reform.
Our focus with regard to building regulation has always been and remains on four key aspects within the profession’s areas of expertise:
We must protect the safety of our communities and return confidence to the sector.
We have developed a set of Guidelines for EOI and RFT for architectural services to assist clients, following research into best practice EOI and RFT methods in public sector and educational institutions that commission architectural services.

The objective of the guidelines is for potential clients to review their own EOI and RFT methods and documents and align them with best practice to enable an effective and efficient process that maximises the potential for high quality built outcomes and reduces bidding and assessment costs for all.
We launched our Hands off Anzac Hall campaign on 7 November 2018, opposing plans to demolish this award-winning building.
The Australian War Memorial is hell-bent on demolishing Anzac Hall as part of its extravagant $500 million redevelopment plans.
As architects, we are passionate about preserving Australia’s heritage and honouring our national history, nowhere more so than the extraordinary service and sacrifice of the servicemen and women. Destroying such an investment – of effort, culture, and family memories – is a waste and mark of disrespect.
With cockatoos screeching overhead, we hopped into cabs and headed to Western Sydney to start Day Seven of the Dulux Study Tour with a visit to Punchbowl Mosque. Once there,
Award-winning Canberra architect Shannon Battisson will bring a commitment to championing architecture to the public while ensuring sustainability remains top of mind in her role as the incoming National President for the Australian Institute of Architects.
Having reached the halfway point of the Dulux Study Tour, today’s itinerary shifts from what is perhaps a coincidental focus on project visits to a full dance-card of architectural practice
We are disappointed that a long term vision and sense of urgency for the two biggest issues affecting the nation’s built environment – climate change and the housing-affordability crisis – is not shared by all parties.
