Gain visibility. Get support. Stay connected. Badge your authenticity, back what you believe and support the ADA in promoting and protecting original design.
Is ADA Bronze Membership Right for You?
Bronze Membership is designed for independent brands and studios that have outgrown solo or micro-business status. This includes:
- Independent studios and brands working with original designs
- Businesses with more than three team members
- Practices actively expanding their market presence
- Brands committed to extending sustainable business outcomes
- Studios ready for more structured IP support and industry visibility
Just Getting Started?
If you’re a sole practitioner or a team of three or fewer, Foundation Membership may be the better starting point. Foundation Membership at $450 + GST gives you the same authenticity badge and Member Directory listing, with onboarding and support scaled to your size.
What You Get as a Bronze Member
Badge Your Authenticity
Your ADA badge and workplace decals signal to clients, collaborators and specifiers that you back authentic, original design. Member Directory listings are publicly searchable, putting you in front of people actively seeking designers who share these values.
- ADA badge and workplace decals for your studio, proposals, email signatures and branding materials
- 12-month licence to use ADA-registered trade marks
- Verified listing in the publicly searchable ADA Member Directory
- Logo showcase placement across ADA assets
Practical Business Support
As your team grows past the solo or micro-business stage, the demands on your time multiply. The Authentic Design Alliance is committed to fortifying the best possible future for the furniture and interior design sector. Membership includes allocated consultation to help you understand your options for protecting your IP.
- Book up to two hours of one-on-one strategy advice with the ADA
- Get legal referrals for IP and design protection matters
- Join monthly onboarding sessions
- Join quarterly group IP training sessions
ADA Mentor Program
The ADA Mentor Program will be announced this Winter. Bronze members can apply for support once the program opens — a valuable opportunity to connect with structured guidance as you grow your studio or brand.
Professional Development and Community
Engage in professional development that counts. Connect with like-minded practitioners and expand your knowledge and experience.
- Discounted tickets to ADA events and education sessions
- Join quarterly team training sessions on industry issues and IP

Advocacy That Works
ADA membership signals that you are backing a cause as well as supporting an organisation committed to change. Back what you believe by joining an ethical community. Your membership supports:
- Advocacy for stronger intellectual property laws in Australia
- Campaigns for ethical procurement practices
- Collective action against design theft and copycat products
- Consumer and specifier education

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 committed advocacy, education and community building for the Australian furnishing sector. During that time, membership rates have remained unchanged since that relaunch. Bronze Membership gives expanding, independent brands the visibility and structured support to match that next stage of growth. 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. Joining now places you at the centre of that growth. You will help shape the future of Australian design from the inside.
