<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Like all statutory councils the
Bill, when it becomes an Act wont force people to register.
Registration will only become compulsory if and when any work
reservation is instituted.<br>
<br>
The other aspect to consider is when a client wishes to use a
registered person, in the same way as a client wants say a
registered engineer or registered valuer or even a registered
accountant etc... - its a matter of a clients choice. It does
become harder for the state though, as they are dealing with
public money and normally insist on using registered people
and employing registered people. The state cannot undermine
the legislation it created and so its duty bound to employ
registered persons only.<br>
<br>
So in essence, the state is bound to use registered people,
while the public can use anybody (provided there is no work
reservation).<br>
<br>
With regards the category GIS practitioner or GIS Technologist
or even GIS technician - until work reservation is instituted,
there will be little difference. Some that I can think of
would be the Title, and issues around running a company.<br>
<br>
