Important — Victorian members: A new Victorian Architects Code of Professional Conduct took effect in April 2026, issued by the Architects Registration Board of Victoria (ARBV). It brings new requirements for client architect agreements and specific steps you will need to take before signing, such as providing a copy of the ARBV's client Checklist. The CAA2024 and CAALS2024 may not yet meet all new requirements in Victoria. The Institute is reviewing its contracts and engaging with the ARBV. Refer to the ARBV's new Code information and the ARBV's Client-Architect Agreement guideline, and you might wish to seek advice before using the current version for your Victorian projects.
