The Australian Council of Deans and Directors of Creative Arts (DDCA)

The Australian Council of Deans and Directors of Creative Arts (DDCA) is a representative body for the creative arts in Australian Universities. Our discipline base includes visual arts, design, theatre, dance, music, screen production, digital arts and writing. We publish 'Creative Matters', an online platform for the discussion of matters relating to practice, research, teaching, policy and reporting relevant to the creative arts in the university sector.

The DDCA aims to advance the culture of scholarship in the creative arts higher education sector, offer strong leadership and advocacy for strategic development and advocate more broadly for the role of the creative arts in society. We hold regular conferences and co-hosts other events in collaboration with member institutions and peak bodies. We will share details of these events, presentations and papers, as well as any news and developments relevant to our members and the creative arts community more broadly.

Our Board is elected by our members and their role is to support and advance the aims of the DDCA. Current Board members are listed on our website: https://ddca.edu.au/about/#board
