Membership

Whether you're just getting started or you're a seasoned pro, becoming an AADC member means tapping into a community that gets it — the late nights, the big wins, the creative block and the moments of brilliance. It's where Adelaide's creative professionals come together to connect, grow and celebrate the work we’re proud of.

Member benefits include:

4x free networking events (‘Crunch’) every year — including drinks, pizza and real talk with industry legends and new faces alike.

Discounted tickets to AADC’s flagship events, workshops and panels on creativity, craft, leadership and more.

Eligibility to enter the AADC Awards — Adelaide’s premier creative showcase.

Access to a vibrant community of like-minded creatives, strategists, makers and doers.

Invitations to member-only events and surprise extras throughout the year.

Monthly member emails — curated updates (not spam!) to keep you in the loop with events, industry news, job ops and cool stuff happening locally.

Support for your industry — your membership helps fund our not-for-profit mission to grow, champion and connect Adelaide’s creative talent.

We offer three different levels of membership to the Club:

• Business Membership
• Individual Membership
• Student Membership

AADC Business Membership is the easiest way to show you’re part of Adelaide’s creative backbone — and to make sure your team gets the most from being part of the Club.

On top of the membership benefits listed above, Business Membership gives you the added bonuses of:

• A premium listing on the AADC Business Directory designed to connect Adelaide’s creative businesses with marketing teams, brands, government and not-for-profits across the state. Your listing allows you to showcase your capabilities, portfolio, awards and contact info.
• Unlimited job listings on the AADC Jobs Board.
• Individual Memberships for your entire team, giving them access to all the perks — member pricing for events, free networking functions, eligibility for Awards and more.
• Visibility as an industry leader, through our channels and community touchpoints.

Fees scale with the size of your business, so whether you're a nimble studio or a large agency, there's a Business Membership tier that fits.

Creatives, strategists, designers, developers, students, directors, producers, freelancers — whatever your role, an AADC Individual Membership connects you to the people, events and opportunities that make our industry what it is.

Your membership includes all the benefits listed at the top of this page — plus the pride of aligning yourself with the best standard in the South Australian industry. You’ll be part of a community that champions creativity, connection and craft at every level.

For just $50 a year, you get way more than you give.

If you’re currently studying a related degree at a tertiary level, this one’s for you.

Joining the AADC as a student member is your backstage pass to the industry — helping you learn from those who’ve been there, meet the people doing the work and start building the kind of career you want.

You’ll get access to mentoring, networking events, social functions, industry programs and more — all designed to connect you with opportunities while you’re still studying.

And the best part? It’s completely free for full-time tertiary students.
