Guide to Migrating to Queensland: Engineering Registration

Engineering Registration

Engineering registration is more than just a milestone. It demonstrates your knowledge, commitment, and devotion to the subject. It allows you to take advantage of new opportunities, build your professional reputation, and use your engineering skills to have a long-lasting impact on the world.

What Queensland has to offer?

Queensland offers high-quality education and childcare, as well as thorough information to help you make an educated decision for your children or yourself. 

Regional Queensland is a popular student choice because it offers beautiful beaches, a laid-back lifestyle, and a stronger sense of community. In regional Queensland, university and school class numbers are lower, and students benefit from individual attention and the development of a strong support network through friendships and industrial contacts. Many schools provide specialized industry placements to help students graduate job-ready. 

The Australian government has recently proposed reforms to visas to attract skilled migrants to move to rural regions to improve the economy and fill the skills gap. So, if you want to apply for permanent residency, moving to a regional area is the best option.

Visa Option

Those interested in settling and working in Queensland must first acquire state-nominated visas. Skilled migration in Queensland is governed and controlled by the Queensland Government’s Business and Skilled Migration Queensland (BSMQ) unit.

  • Temporary visas that serve as a pathway to permanent residency.
  • Permanent residency visas that allow skilled immigrants to work and reside permanently in Queensland.

Professional Engineers Act (QLD) has a prerequisite that professional engineering administrations in Queensland or for Queensland should be done by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) or, on the other hand, by a man who does the administrations under the immediate supervision of a responsible RPEQ. Engineering Registration is a comprehensive directory of engineers.

BSMQ requires offshore candidates applying under engineering professions to confirm registration (where determined against their occupation on the QSOL) with the Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland (BPEQ). On the off chance that you are an onshore candidate and don’t have BPEQ registration, you can presently work in an expert engineering part in Queensland under the direct supervision of a capable RPEQ.

Queensland is at present the main Australian jurisdiction to apply a thorough enlistment framework for engineers. Be that as it may, different states are said to soon follow the same pattern.

There are at present 26 territories of engineering perceived by BPEQ. BPEQ works with proficient associations to characterize these engineering zones, from aeronautical to civil engineers and chemical to naval architects. The registration framework guarantees an elevated expectation of training that exists in Queensland across all zones of engineering.

Setting the Gold Standard for Engineering Registration:  RPEQ Engineers Australia

Engineers Australia, the leading professional organization for engineers in Australia, grants the title known as RPEQ, which stands for Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland. Engineers practicing or providing engineering services in a variety of fields within Queensland must have RPEQ accreditation, which is unique to the state of Queensland. It denotes that an engineer has attained the requisite training, work experience, and moral requirements established by Engineers Australia.


With RPEQ certification, engineers in Queensland are more likely to uphold strict professional standards and offer the community professional and trustworthy engineering services.

Being recognized as a Distinguished RPEQ Engineer by Engineers Australia is a sign of excellent professionalism and knowledge in today’s competitive engineering landscape.

Benefits of living in Queensland

Every day, individuals from all over the world come to visit, work, and live in Queensland. The state maintains a high standard of living by providing:

  • Stable economy
  • Affordable housing 
  • The world-class education system and advanced health services 
  • Modern road and public transportation infrastructure 
  • A safe place for you and your family to live 
  • The only state in Australia with six international airports
  • Perfect beaches, national parks, and the ‘outback
  • A diverse mix of welcoming cultures is waiting to welcome you.

Onshore and offshore candidates must still undergo a skills evaluation by the appropriate assessing body. A Skills Migration Assessment does not fulfill the BPEQ registration assessment requirements. For additional information on skill assessments by Engineers Australia, you can contact us.
