Building Practitioner Board
Registration
Application
July 2015
Introduction
The Building Act 1993 (the Act) requires people working in the registration categories
covered by the Act to be registered by the Building Practitioners Board. These people are
called Registered Building Practitioners (RBP).
The RBP status is only achieved by having a good balance of relevant
qualifications, industry experience and building knowledge. All
applicants must be of good character and carry appropriate insurance.
The RBP status gives consumers the highest confidence that building
work will be completed to industry standards.
Prior to completing this application, you must read the information sheet
relevant to your registration category. The information sheet details the
qualifications, knowledge and experience you require to successfully
register as an RBP.
The Board may require you to support your application with details of
your qualifications, training, professional memberships, business
operations and some samples of your work.
Only an individual person may apply to the Board to be registered as a
building practitioner. Applications by corporations or partnerships cannot
be accepted.
Registered building practitioners in other Australian states must
complete a Mutual Recognition Application Form which can be
downloaded from www.vba.vic.gov.au
Application Process
There are four steps in the process that must be completed:
1. Read all the information included in the application package
2. Complete the application forms and gather the additional
information required for registration
3. Lodge the application with the Building Practitioners Board.
4. Pay the fee.
Once your application is received, the Board will complete the
following steps:
1. Application is checked for completeness and further information
may be requested
2. You will be advised if you need to attend an examination as part
of your assessment
3. Once the examination is complete, a recommendation is made at
a meeting for the Board
4. You will be notified promptly after a decision is made by the
Board. The recommendation will be one of the following:
Register the applicant
Refuse to register the applicant
Ask the applicant to give it any information that is
reasonably required to determine the application.
If the Board accepts the recommendation that you should be
registered, you will receive a Registered Building Practitioners
certificate, a photo identification card and a new registration pack.
