Having bedded down the jointly developed Special Area of Practice on the National Professional Engineers Register, consideration is now focusing on the Technologist and Associate grades. This is particularly relevant following RINA’s establishment of an Associate Membership category. Through the Joint Board, RINA has sought more information on our Professional Standards Scheme.

Both Engineers Australia and RINA with IMarEST have been working hard and are looking forward to hosting the Pacific 2010 International Maritime Conference in Sydney in January. There has been some growth in joint activities at the Division level.
