The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has reacted to the UK and Australia’s historic trade deal agreement.
RIBA President Simon Allford said:
“This new trade deal provides a promising opportunity for UK architects and practices to work internationally. From guaranteed access to visas and greater scope for young people to work abroad – both the UK and Australian Governments rightly recognise the significant value of the profession.
Through discussions with Ministers and MPs over recent years, we have been able to help inform the government of industry priorities and we now look forward to working with policy makers to optimise this opportunity and help progress a new agreement for the recognition of professional qualifications.”
