Is ADA Gold Membership Right for You?
Gold Membership is designed for high-performing brands operating at the top of the sector, upholding originality and backing ethical, lower-impact practice. This includes:
- Established, high-performing brands and studios
- Businesses upholding originality at scale
- Brands minimising environmental impact through ethical practice
- Studios ready for priority program access and custom IP training
- Businesses wanting the highest level of visibility across ADA assets
Not There Yet?
If your business is still scaling, Silver Membership at $2,000 + GST may be the better starting point.
What You Get as a Gold Member
Gold includes everything in Silver Membership. Here is what Gold adds.
Badge Your Authenticity
Premium logo placement puts your brand at the front of ADA assets seen by specifiers and clients.
- Premium logo placement across ADA assets (vs Superior in Silver)
- Licence for up to two owned brand logos
Practical Business Support
Support scaled to a larger team and a wider product range.
- Up to five hours of one-on-one Strategy Advice with the ADA (vs three hours in Silver)
- Custom team IP training for staff and clients
Priority Access as ADA 3.0 Rolls Out
Gold Members get priority access to new ADA programs and advisory groups as they open, from now until our relaunch during Melbourne Design Week in May 2027.
That means early involvement in the Mentor Program, the circularity group and the CPD-accredited Education Series, rather than joining once programs are set. Gold also includes custom IP training for your staff and clients.
Policy, Planning and Advisory Access
Help shape the programs and positions that affect your sector.
- Priority program and advisory group access
Education, Visibility and Community
Host and co-brand events with the ADA, as standard.
- Co-branded events, as standard

Why Join Now: Back the Next Decade of Advocacy
Founded in 2010, the ADA was relaunched in 2016 by a new team with a fresh remit. 2026 marks ten years of advocacy, education and community building for the Australian furnishing sector. During that time, membership rates have remained unchanged since that relaunch. Gold Membership gives high-performing brands the priority support to match their scale. This year, we are launching several new programs to expand our industry support. Circularity education, deeper engagement with architects and interior designers, and a more powerful advocacy platform are all in development.
