Apply to reinstate your registration or transfer from non practising to the practising category
Those no longer on the NSW Register of Architects and architects in the non practising category who wish to provide architectural services in NSW must apply to be re-registered in the practising category by completing online Form 06 and complying with the registration conditions as a practising architect.
Conditions for re-registration in the practising category
Conditions for re-registration as a practising architect may apply depending on how long you have been in the non practising category or deregistered:
0-3 years non-practising or since last registered |
Your application will be automatically processed if you meet the CPD requirements for your particular circumstances (Refer Factsheet on Continuing Professional Development). You may be required, at the Registrar’s discretion, to provide supporting documentation such as a current CV showing employment history and a record of CPD undertaken in the 12-24 months prior to the application for re-registration. |
3-5 years non-practising or since last registered |
If you have not been registered in the practising category for the last 3-5 years, you are required to submit a current CV showing employment history and demonstrate that in the last 12 months you have completed a minimum of 20 hours of CPD, of which at least 10 hours must be Formal CPD activity. At least 3 hours of the 10 hours of Formal CPD must address the mandatory topics (Refer Factsheet on Continuing Professional Development).
