Architectural Practice Board Fellowship – State of the Profession
The reference group for this project met recently to further look at the detail of the work. It seems clear that the a focus is to ensure any survey establishes a baseline, which gathers accurate data and is repeatable. The main emphasis will be on practices using a relatively detailed survey with heavy promotion and a few discursive questions. We may also conduct a short, sharp survey for individuals based on APBSA database and other sources, to get a better snapshot of profession and provide information for any future APBSA census.
It is hoped the survey will be undertaken in September this year.
Liasion with DPTI
We meet with DPTI regarding shortly and will also be part of the Construction Industry Forum group meeting with Minister Mullighan in early September.

This study group continues with over 20 participants. We wish them all the best for their upcoming exams!
