Interior Designer and Interior Decorator Endorsement

Following consultation with the Design Institute of Australia (DIA), the peak industry body for design occupations, VETASSESS has received endorsements of its assessment criteria for both the Interior Designer and Interior Decorator occupations. 

Based on DIA’s advice, reflecting current industry practice and supported by the current OSCA requirements, the minimum education requirement for the Interior Designer occupation has been updated to an AQF Bachelor degree. The educational requirements for the Interior Decorator occupation remain unchanged (Diploma level). 

Any applications received on or after 15/06/2026 will be assessed under the revised criteria. Agents are encouraged to carefully consider the applicant’s qualification level and scope of work when selecting between the Interior Designer and Interior Decorator occupations.
