This site provides an inventory of all known mutual recognition agreements (MRAs) on licensing, qualifications and accreditation of professionals and skilled service providers in APEC economies.
The inventory was funded by the Australian government and compiled during 2020 and 2021 by the Australian APEC Study Centre in collaboration with APEC economies.
For each agreement, the inventory includes:
-
the occupations covered
-
the economies involved
-
the agreement title
-
the year the agreement entered into force
-
a link to the competent authority in each economy
-
a link to application details for professional seeking recognition
-
a link to the agreement text, where available
-
an assessment of the level of recognition afforded by the agreement
For a quick guide on how to navigate the inventory, please click here.
The inventory is intended to improve transparency and knowledge of the types of MRAs and similar agreements, including those that provide pathways to recognition. For individuals and firms, the inventory provides a simple means of identifying MRAs that could facilitate their work across borders. For governments and recognition bodies the inventory provides an overview of all of the agreements in place, which can assist in the prioritisation and development of future agreements as well as aiding in benchmarking current practice.
Brochure - APEC Inventory of Mutual Recognition Agreements for Professional Qualifications and Licensure
A shareable brochure briefly outlining the uses of the inventory as well as how stakeholders and users can contribute is linked on the right. Please feel free to download and share this brochure within your networks.
