Professional accreditation plays an integral role in any industry and the implementation of mandatory licensing for Building Designers is essential to the recognition and longevity of the profession. Until Western Australia introduces laws requiring building designers to be licensed, DMN, as Australia’s peak body for building designers has introduced a voluntary accreditation program for members. 

In the meantime, DMN continues to work with the Department of Mines, Industry Regulations & Safety to ensure that licensing for building designers is incorporated as part of the Building Confidence Reforms. 

To ensure Building Designers are afforded the recognition of their professional capabilities and expertise, the Design Matters National Accreditation programme has been developed by members for members. It gives clients of building designers confidence to know that the person designing their project is recognised as skilled and knowledgeable in their field. 

It is expected that should registration become mandatory in Western Australia, the DMN Accreditation program is so robust that it will be recognised as a pathway for practitioners seeking licensing.   

The Program has been designed to raise the level of recognition of building designers.  It is a comprehensive program that provides pathways for improvement by offering access to workshops, CPD, experienced mentors and free templates enabling members to properly prepare for accreditation.
