The Institution of Engineers was formed in 1919 when representatives of twelve separate engineering societies met in Sydney and joined to form the Institution of Engineers, Australia. The Institution of Engineers, Australia, was formed with the intention of establishing a national organisation to represent the various disciplines of engineering. The twelve Foundation Societies formed divisions in each state. The first Committee of the Institution established an Examinations Committee in order to establish adequate standards of entry to the profession, and the second Committee established a committee responsible for assessing practical experience of engineers. Candidates were required to satisfy both committees in order to become a member of the Institution.

The Institution established a Code of Ethics, issued codes of standards for professional practice and charges for consulting engineers, and was involved in the accreditation of tertiary undergraduate courses. The Institution has been responsible for upgrading educational requirements for engineers, establishing a register of engineers, and establishing national competency standards for engineers.

In 1991 the Engineering Heritage Committee of the Institution of Engineers, Australia, Sydney Division, began an Oral History Project in order to record the work history and experiences of eminent engineers.
