What we need you to do
Register to attend this meeting to get informed and share your stories. Registration is open to both members and non-members. It's FREE.
If you aren't already, we ask you to become a member of the DIA. The stronger our membership base, the louder our voice when advocating to support your profession.
We kindly request your assistance in completing this survey which will enable us to compile evidence required to present a comprehensive case. You input is invaluable in strengthening our cause.
Why is this important?
Registration is an appropriate recognition of qualified interior designers' skills and expertise. If registration doesn’t happen, it is our prediction that the interior design profession will disappear within ongoing changes to the definition of construction professionals. For the sake of our profession, we believe interior designers should be recognised and registered (in some cases licensed) as a separate class of design practitioners. See our latest submission below.
The DIA continues to advocate for the recognition and regulation of interior design, ensuring the profession's growth and the protection of both practitioners and consumers.
