Seeking Registration in Another State

(Mutual Recognition)

Licensed Surveyors from Victoria may apply for registration in another State or Territory of Australia or New Zealand under the provisions of the Mutual Recognition Act 1992.  The Council of Reciprocating Surveyors Boards of Australia and New Zealand (CRSBANZ) has a commitment to the principle of mutual recognition of professional registration between all Australian States and Territories and New Zealand, which dates back to its inaugural conference in 1892.  Under the Mutual Recognition Act 1992, licensed surveyors are required to obtain a Letter of Accreditation from the Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria and attach it to their application for registration in another jurisdiction.

A Letter of Accreditation can be obtained by completing the appropriate Statutory Declaration and returning it along with the prescribed fee ($69.90) to the Board.  

The Letter of Accreditation will be forwarded to the reciprocating Board and a copy sent to the applicant.

Letters of Accreditation are issued by the Board on the clear understanding that licensed surveyors acquaint themselves with the appropriate legislation and practices of the other jurisdiction, and comply with all the requirements of the reciprocating Board.
