The Deep Dive Report on Systemic Risks in the Australian Architecture Sector is now available on the ARBV website.

It consolidates the results of initial research undertaken by the ARBV and the NSW ARB in 2022 with insights about these risks gleaned from deep dive focus groups conducted in 2023 with Victorian and NSW architects, industry body representatives, clients, developers, insurers and regulatory bodies.

The Deep Dive Report identifies systemic risks in the Australian architecture sector that affect the entire industry.  Without effective action, these risks could lead to widespread negative outcomes.  Given their systemic nature, addressing these risks requires a coordinated response involving not only the ARBV and NSW ARB, but also industry bodies, education providers, research institutions and other government agencies.

The Deep Dive Report offers recommendations so that outcomes can be improved for architects, their clients, users of architectural services and the public.
