The Victorian Chapter manages a suite of programs to support our members and create opportunities for their professional growth. We are the voice of the Institute in Victoria and we actively engage with state and local government to promote the interests of our members, the community in relation to the built environment, and the architectural profession in general.
We recognise works of our local architects through the Victorian Architecture Awards and we foster a knowledge-sharing culture through our publications and our large, medium and small practice forums.
The Victorian Chapter acknowledges the traditional owners of the site on which our office stands, the people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
Holiday Closure:
Our Chapter office will be closed over the holiday break from Wednesday, 24 December 2025 and re-opening on Monday, 5 January 2026.
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.
Each year, the Victorian Chapter offers a range of prizes and scholarships to recognise and encourage the work of our members.
Fellowship is awarded to those who have demonstrated a significant contribution to the architecture profession beyond architecture practice.
A series of online discussion groups where members can connect with each other, share ideas, and learn from each other.
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.
Continuing Professional Development is an important avenue to improve professional knowledge and competence.

– Elizabeth Carpenter, NSW CHAPTER PRESIDENT This year has been a year of change. Change is always disruptive; however, as professionals working within the built environment, we embrace change
The Victorian Chapter operates its Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program in Melbourne and regional Victoria. CPD events include technical presentations on materials and products from industry players, and workshops and seminars covering topics around the four areas of competency standards – design, documentation, project delivery and practice management.
We also hold two Practice of Architecture Learning Series each year with face-to-face tutorials to help members prepare for the Architectural Practice Examination and refresh core knowledge for practice.
Mentorloop is the mentoring platform which enables members to easily match with other members of the Institute community. Utilising online specialist matching software, mentors and mentees will find a carefully curated match across the country or closer to home should that be your preference.
For mentees: as you progress in your studies and career, connect with new mentors who can offer support, advice and opportunities. By using the program, you will be empowered to build your very own advisory board, whose experience you can draw on throughout the course of your career.
For mentors: this is a great chance to give back while improving your leadership and management skills by providing advice and feedback to someone who can really use your help.
Contact membership@architecture.com.au for more information.
Fellowship is awarded to members who have demonstrated a significant contribution to the profession beyond the practice of architecture.
Criteria for elevation:
Life Fellow is the highest honour class of RAIA membership available to members practicing architecture. Fellowship is awarded to those who have demonstrated a significant contribution to the architecture profession beyond architecture practice. Life Fellows are endorsed by National Council.

The Senior Counsellor can only respond to the information you give them and may ask further questions relevant to the facts they need. They may give you their opinion or general information relevant to what you’ve told them. They cannot give you legal advice and nothing they say should be relied on as legal advice. You cannot claim that a Senior Counsellor or the Institute has given you advice.
