Membership Information

Drama Victoria is the oldest and most established Drama subject association in Australia. It services the needs of performing arts educators in the Primary, Secondary and post-secondary sectors. Our office is based at the beautiful Abbotsford Convent, right in the heart of Melbourne's Arts precinct and next to the Collingwood Children's Farm.

Drama Victoria is the peak advocacy body for Drama in the state. We represent members on a number of curriculum development and administrative committees regarding the teaching of Drama in Victoria, nationally and internationally. We are also linked to the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD), Council of Professional Teaching Associations in Victoria and NAAE, the National Affiliation of Arts Educators, that also promote arts education.

Drama Victoria is a member of Drama Australia, the national drama educator's association and IDEA, the international drama educator's organisation. Drama Australia and IDEA also run conferences and produce publications available to our members.

Our current priority areas are The Australian Curriculum, VELS and VCE Drama and Theatre Studies courses. This year we will be continuing to produce printed resource material and running professional development to support Victorian Drama teachers.
