Supporting Global Engagement Through Design

Client Overview

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Diplomatic Academy delivers induction and professional development programs for Australia’s diplomatic workforce.

  • DFAT required a flexible and professional visual system that could support induction content across multiple formats, while remaining clear, accessible, and aligned with government standards.

  • We developed a contemporary visual identity including colour palettes, iconography, and branded elements designed to work seamlessly across digital and in-person environments. This included animation and video assets, presentation templates, pull-up banners, and supporting collateral, underpinned by a consistent look and feel.

  • The induction program now presents as clear, polished, and cohesive, supporting DFAT’s onboarding experience and reinforcing the professionalism of the Diplomatic Academy across touchpoints.
