Design Institute of Australia

The ACT branch of the Design Institute of Australia is the voice of professional design in the ACT.

We are actively working with community, government, business, industry and education sectors within the industries of manufacturing, product, fashion, built environment, communications, business and many more.

The ACT branch is also highly active in the areas of education and socially responsible design.

Our vision is to raise awareness and increase the profile of the design profession within the community. We want to establish the ACT as an epicentre of design innovation and creativity - where the contribution of leading ACT designers is recognised.

Our aim is to equip designers with skills to enhance their professional lives, support designers with services and advice throughout their careers, connect designers with each other and with clients, customers and business, celebrate and promote Australian design excellence, inspire people to value design and designers to do their best work, advocate on behalf of designers to government, industry and the community.
