About NLC Print E-mail

National Liaison Committee for International Students, more widely known as NLC, is a not-for profit peak representative body, organised by full-time international students for international students in Australia.

NLC was formed in 1986 through the amalgamation of various state-based international student organisations across Australia to combat the introduction of the Overseas Student Full-Fee Paying Program. Today, NLC's focus is on academic and welfare issues which concern international students in Australia.

The NLC has 46 affiliated university campus international student organisations, from 31 public and 2 private universities. While it draws its membership primarily from student organisations in universities, its office bearers work closely with students from TAFE, ELICOS and school systems, and in total represents approximately 303,000 international students in Australia.

The NLC contributes to Federal and State Government inquiries and processes into changing and improving international education in Australia. With such fast growth in the industry, the NLC is continually facing challenges by educational institutions and government departments on keeping students rights first and foremost before the tempting profit margin.
