The Australian Design Awards is an industry body established by the Industrial Design Council of Australia (IDCA), founded in 1958. The Awards are Australia's only national design awards for industrial design and one of the few forums in Australia to showcase excellence in design and innovation in Australia. Since 1991, the Australian Design Awards has been a division of Standards Australia.
In 2007 the Australian Design Awards expanded its entry criteria to include all professionally designed products on the Australian market, including products designed in Australia. From 2007, the Australian Design Awards became known as the Australian International Design Awards to reflect the global nature of the Awards.
Since its inception, the Australian Design Awards has a proud legacy of highlighting Australia's great design icons including the Hills Hoist, the Victa lawnmower, the Holden Monaro, the Cochlear ear implant, Ben Lexcen's winged keel, the Décor wine cooler, the Dolphin lantern torch, Marc Newson's Skybed for QANTAS, and many more.
The Australian International Design Awards (as it is now known) is recognised by the Commonwealth Government and the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design [ICSID] as the peak promotional body for the Australian design industry, and for its important role in fostering a culture of design and innovation in Australia.
