What is the Surveyor Accreditation Scheme?
The Surveyor Accreditation Scheme (the Scheme) is how the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) ensures that surveyors have the appropriate education, capability and capacity and are competent to survey domestic commercial vessels under the Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law Act 2012 (National Law).
The Scheme will take effect from 2 January 2015, but AMSA is unable to accept applications before that date.
