rdf:langString The Australian Directors' Guild (ADG) is an industry guild representing the interests of film, television, commercials and digital media directors, including documentary makers and animators, throughout Australia. With its headquarters in Sydney, the ADG has branches in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. As of 2022 the president of ADG is Rowan Woods. Founded initially as the Australian Feature Film Directors' Association in September, 1981 and renamed the Australian Screen Directors' Association four months later, the organisation became the Australian Directors' Guild in 2007 in order to align itself more clearly to other international directors guilds which had for some years been strengthening their ties with each other and with their Australian counterpart. In 2014, the ADG membership voted unanimously for constitutional changes to enable the Guild to register as a trade union under Australia's federal Industrial Relations Act 1988. In February, 2015 registration as an industrial organisation was approved by the Fair Work Commission.
