Discipline of architects

The ACT Civil and Adminstrative Tribunal (ACAT) has the role of disciplining architects under the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal ACT 2008.

ACAT will be able to make one or more of the following orders for occupational discipline against an architect:

require the person to give a written undertaking
require the person to complete a stated course of training to the satisfaction of the regulatory body or another stated person
give the person a direction
- Note: For directions that may be given, see s 67 of the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008
cancel or suspend the person’s licence or registration
disqualify the person from applying for a licence, or registration, of a stated kind for a stated period or until a stated thing happens
if a regulatory body may put conditions on the person’s licence or registration under an authorising law, direct the regulatory body to
- put a condition on the person’s licence or registration, or
- remove or amend a condition put on the person’s licence or registration.

require the person to pay to the Territory or someone else a stated amount (not more than any amount prescribed by regulation). If the person gained financial advantage from the action that is the ground for occupational discipline, require the person to pay to the Territory an amount assessed as the amount of financial advantage gained by the person.
