The Australian Institute of Architects is proud to announce Dulux as Principal Partner commencing 2025. The Institute acts to advance, celebrate, and safeguard Australian architecture by positioning strategic policies to government, platforming design excellence through an extensive awards program, and progressing architects with CPD and educational opportunities. Dulux has been a longtime supporter of Australia’s design leaders and are proud to continue their legacy with this partnership.
Dulux is already responsible for many of the Institute’s member offerings such as the annual Dulux Study Tour. “There’s an opportunity to continue with our investment in the Dulux Study Tour which allows us to help develop the future of architects in Australia,” says General Manager Acratex at Dulux, Philip White.
“It’s an amazing partnership we’ve had for a long period of time over 25 years. We’re really excited to bring it to the next level which I think will allow us to work even closer with the Institute in actually helping
architects as they move forwards in their careers,” says Jevan Dickinson General Manager of Trade, Dulux. “We want to nurture the next generation of talent as they come through and help them with their careers. At Dulux we’re really committed to helping professionals be the best they possibly can be.”
Dulux’s continuing sponsorship of the Study Tour is the evergreen example of their mutual stake in the future of Australia’s architects. Dulux is also a regular benefactor of the Institute’s Gold Medal National Tour. Whether it’s student members or established practitioners, Dulux looks to uplift and support the growth of architects at every stage.
“I’m incredibly excited to see the outcomes of this partnership, the value it brings to members and the role it takes in shaping the future of our built environment,” says Institute CEO Cameron Bruhn. “Working together, Dulux and the Institute are advancing a conversation about the way architecture and design can shape a more beautiful, resilient, and sustainable future for all.”
2025 is an exciting time for this partnership with the Institute’s Australian Architecture Conference coming to Sydney in May, the Dulux Study Tour heading to Europe mid-year, and the Dulux Colour Awards already underway.
