Queensland CHAPTER
The Queensland Chapter identifies and responds to issues that stand to impact the profession and our members.
We deliver a variety of activities aligned with the Institute’s strategic plan, including mentorship programs for student members and a program of Chapter awards and prizes. We liaise with local and state bodies as well as authorities to promote and represent the interests of our members and the community.
The Queensland Chapter acknowledges the Yuggera and Turrbal peoples as the traditional owners of the site on which our office stands. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
Programs and Activities
The Institute is committed to developing and promoting a strong architectural profession and advocating for safer, more sustainable communities. Learn about local and national advocacy initiatives.
Meet our Chapter Councillors and discover our local committees helping shape our work and the built environment.
Our Chapter hosts a range of local events celebrating architecture and catering to the profession and the broader community. Discover upcoming events now.
Our Chapter and National Awards programs are an opportunity for public and peer recognition of the valuable contribution architecture makes to our communities locally, nationally and internationally.
The Dunbar Fellowship was established as a result of a generous bequest by the late Jennifer Taylor. The Dunbar Fellowship enables a Queensland member to undertake a program of study and/or research in Asia and/or the islands of the South Pacific Ocean and assist the Dunbar Fellow in further academic qualification, leading to the presentation of a public lecture, and at least one paper of excellence of a standard equivalent to acceptance in a refereed journal.
The Philip Y Bisset Planning (Architecture) Scholarship enable final year students to undertake a course of study, research, or other proposed activity approved by the Selection Panel to “study architecture overseas with particular emphasis on the planning and design of buildings”.
Our members who have been elevated to Life Fellow and Fellow within the Queensland chapter, as well as associated events are highlighted.
Continuing Professional Development is an important avenue to improve professional knowledge and competence. CPD is compulsory for registration in Queensland.
View our range of online and face-to-face professional development opportunities.
In Queensland, we support the Refuel Provider Network’s CPD delivery to the Queensland regions by organising a time and place for the Refuel CPD delivery. The Refuel Provider then delivers the CPD either in-person or through webinar.
Championing the Queensland Chapter’s outreach to the general public the Ask an Architect is a key initiative to engage, inspire and inform the public about the benefits of good and sustainable design.
