VIS, which was established in 1874, was originally incorporated in 1895\. In 1952, VIS merged with other Australian state surveying institutions to form the Institution of Surveyors Australia (ISA). At that point, it became known as the Melbourne Division of the Institution of Surveyors Australia. In 1957, arising However, in 1957, arising to concerns about amendments to the ISA constitution, the Melbourne Division committee proposed that the Institution of Surveyors Victoria (ISV) and it would be known as ISV acting for the Victorian Division of ISA. However, it was only in 1959 that this name change proceeded to be registered. Around 2003, the Victorian Division committee became increasingly concerned with the proposed establishment of the Spatial Sciences Institute, which would replace ISA and the reputational risks to the surveying profession. These concerns increased and in 2007, ISV re\-commenced as an incorporated institution in its own right. ISA closed as of 1 July 2009 and the Victorian Division of ISA as a name was dropped. ISV has also registered the name Surveyors Victoria in 2023\.Victorian Institute of Surveyors, Annual Report, 21 December 1951, Australian Surveyor, 1952, [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10\.1080/00050326\.1952\.10437108](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00050326.1952.10437108)
