DATTA Vic started out in 1987 when a passionate group of Technologies educators got together to support their fellow teachers and improve the quality of teaching in our learning area. We operated as a not for profit until 2025, when we were awarded charitable status.
We help teachers by delivering professional learning workshops, upskilling opportunities, resources and conferences. We regularly advocate on behalf of our subject to government, industry and the higher education sector and we develop partnerships with external agencies for the benefit of D&T teachers.
We are governed by a volunteer committee of active teachers, and we have two part-time staff.

| Projects DATTA Vic regularly delivers special programs which are designed to address the key issues faced by our members. For example, each year we run Design & Technologies Week, which raises awareness of our dynamic, challenging and and essential learning area, where school students learn to be the creative problem solvers of the future. |
 | Workforce Development DATTA Vic spends a significant amount of time and resources addressing the biggest issue faced by our members - the critical shortage of D&T teachers. We lobby government and the university sector, we deliver upskilling programs for out of field educators and our Industrial Design Students as Technicians in Schools initiative aims to get design undergraduates from Victorian universities working in schools as techs. |
