Architects Act 2004

This section applies if the ACAT is considering an application for occupational discipline in relation to an architect.

Without limiting the matters the ACAT must consider in relation to the architect, the ACAT must consider the following:

the degree of responsibility of the architect for the act or omission that made up the ground for occupational discipline;

the extent to which it is necessary to discourage the architect and others from doing something, or not doing something, that made up the disciplinary ground;

whether, and the extent to which, it is necessary to protect the public from the architect;

the desirability of making the architect responsible for the consequences of the architect’s actions or omissions;

the desirability of maintaining public confidence in the regulatory system set up by this Act.

The ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008, s 65 (3) sets out other considerations that must be taken into account by the ACAT.
