An NSCA Summary Statement functions as an index rather than a narrative, listing each Performance Criterion from the National Standard of Competency for Architects and pointing assessors directly to the Portfolio project where it was demonstrated. Overseas-trained architects and applicants without an accredited Australian qualification prepare this document during the Overseas Qualifications Assessment, which has run as a single combined Stage 1 and Stage 2 process since March 2022 for most new applicants.

Structuring the statement around the AACA's thirteen official Topic Areas, using exact page and project references, and matching the claimed competency level, Awareness, Understanding, or Application, to what the evidence genuinely shows all determine whether the Competency Assessment Interview proceeds smoothly.
