For professional engineer members of the Institution of Engineers, Australia (Engineers Australia) (not Associates), the following post-nominals are available:

FIEAust CPEng – for Fellows

Professional engineers who are not members of the Institution of Engineers, Australia may use the postnominal NPER if they are registered on the National Professional Engineers Register.
