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.

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.
The Institute welcomes Jane Cassidy and Shirley Chowdhary to the Board of Directors.
With effect from 1 July 2022, the Fair Work Commission has made the decision to increase the National Minimum Wage by 5.2% and minimum rates of pay in modern awards by either $40 per week or 4.6%.
