Australian Craft Design Practitioner Survey

An ADC Legacy Project, funded by Australian Design Centre in collaboration with the Australian Craft and Design Centres (ACDC Network), NAVA and Craft Australia.

A new survey released today aims to build a national picture of craft and design practice in Australia — and it needs your voice.

The data collected will help sector organisations advocate for practitioners and make a stronger case for funding, opportunities, education, business support and policy change.

As the Australian Design Centre (ADC) closes its doors after six decades of supporting Australian craft and design, this research is one part of the legacy they’re leaving behind: useful evidence that can help the sector advocate for its future.

The survey takes 9–12 minutes and is completely anonymous. 

If you are an Australian craft or design practitioner, please take the survey and help make sure your experiences are part of the picture.

Complete the survey via the link below before 2 October 2026.
