What is the Professional Standards Scheme?
The Professional Standards Scheme (the Scheme) is a legal instrument, established under the Professional Standards Act 1994 (the Act) and approved by the Professional Standards Councils.
The statutory objectives of the Scheme are reciprocal in nature:
- It binds Surveyors Australia (as the occupational association for the surveying profession in Australia) to monitor, enforce and improve the professional standards of its Members, and protect consumers of professional services; and
- Serves to cap the civil liability or damages the Surveyors Australia Scheme participants may be required to pay if a Court upholds a claim against them.
