In June (2025), the Australian Design Centre (ADC) announced it was in freefall, having learnt it had been stripped of State and Federal operational funding.
ADC’s combined operational funding from governments was cut from $500,000 per annum over four years, which it had received for the past 10 years, to $150,000 over two years, leaving a $350,000 pa shortfall.
