Ai Group does not support the proposal in the Discussion Paper on Registered Engineers to introduce legislation to establish a registration scheme for engineers working in South Australia, either in connection with the building and construction industry or any other industry sector.

Ai Group notes that the proposal is primarily based on the Shergold/Weir Report that was commissioned by the then Building Ministers Forum and produced in 2018, some 5 years ago.

Ai Group submits that action to introduce increased regulatory controls over any industry should only be contemplated where there is clear evidence that it is necessary to do so and after other options available have been explored.
