==History==
The organisation was founded as the Society of Designers for Industry in 1947, and first incorporated as the Industrial Design Institute of Australia on 15 August 1958, with chapters in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. The institute joined the ICSID<ref name="ICSID">{{cite web | url=http://www.design.org.au/index.cfm?id=78 | title=ICSID | accessdate=13 May 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518072234/http://www.design.org.au/index.cfm?id=78 | archive-date=18 May 2015 | url-status=dead }}</ref> in 1967. They joined International Council of Design in 1980 and then, on 20 December 1982, the organisation was again renamed to the Design Institute of Australia, as it is today. On 1 July 1998, the organisation merged with the Society of Interior Designers of Australia, and the Australian Textile Design Association; becoming a National rather than Federal body.<ref name="History">{{cite web | url=http://www.design.org.au/index.cfm?id=204 | title=History of the DIA | accessdate=13 May 2015 | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120729101930/http://www.design.org.au/index.cfm?id=204 | archive-date=29 July 2012 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
