About the NLC UNE-ISA is an affiliate of the National Liaison Committee for International Students (NLC). The goal of the NLC is to be the peak representative body for all international students in Australia. It was founded in 1986 in response to the growing need among international students for a unified voice. Through its representations, campaigns and/or lobbying, the NLC advocates the rights of international students on a state and national level. The NLC Inc. constantly maintains consultation with various federal and state government departments, AVCC, NUS, ISANA, AEI, DIMA, DEETYA, IDP, ELICOS Association, Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) providers and others. The main objectives are to ensure quality education, ethical marketing, student welfare, and the existence of support services for international students. To achieve this, the NLC has a national committee as well as State Branches (in the case of UNE-ISA, the NLC NSW Branch), which campaign and do research for your benefit. The NLC is the International Division of the National Union of Studentsâ. Furthermore, the NLC `maintains communication with international students and institutions through orientation activities, campus visits and liaison, conferences`, and NLCLinked - a mailing list available at http://groups.internationalstudents.asn.au/mailman/listinfo For more information, visit www.internationalstudents.asn.au

NLC Annual Conference (NLCAC) This is the supreme decision making body of NLC. NLC is made up of delegates from international student organisations from campuses all over Australia. As well as determining the major goals and policies of NLC, National Office Bearers would be elected at the conference. The most exciting thing about NLCAC is that it gives international students from around Australia an opportunity to meet up once a year to descuss issues, debate policies and have direction to NLC for upcoming year. There is also the International Education Conference held during NLCAC where members of the public, particularly stakeholder representatives from international education sector, are invited to interact with international students.
