Since its formation in 1947, The Design Institute of Australia (DIA) has been Australia's professional membership body for designers and design businesses. The DIA represents all professional designers in Australia. It is Australia’s only multi-disciplinary organisation of professional designers, representing all disciplines of design. DIA provides members with support, networking, services and information to improve your professional practice. It also provides with a wealth of contacts, and connects you with colleagues from many industry areas.

Getting things done for designers
support of the DIA ensures that the design professions have a voice in government and industry, and an organisational structure to get things done on behalf of designers.

Multi-disciplinary strength
It's a professional body for designers, founded by the design professions, and run and funded by designers. By working together, designers ensure they have the numbers and money necessary to operate a strong and active national organisation.
