History
NUS in its current form came into being in 1987 after the collapse of its predecessor, the
Australian Union of StudentsThe Australian Union of Students was formed in December 1970 as the successor to the National Union of Australian University Students as a representative body and lobby group for Australian University and College of Advanced Education students. It collapsed in 1984 and was succeeded by the...
, in 1984. The AUS itself was known from 1937 to 1971 as the National Union of Australian University Students (NUAUS).
NUS was formed at the same time that the

government introduced the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (a system of deferred tuition payments), abolishing the free education system previously introduced by the Whitlam government.
NUS has had mixed success in its role as a lobby group and representative body. In particular, its limited finances have often meant that it has had difficulty making its presence felt on higher education issues. It was successful in the early 1990s in preventing the implementation of a deferred loan scheme in place of government student financial assistance, and in reducing the qualification age for student financial assistance.
NUS was unable to prevent the introduction of differential rates of HECS in 1996, but did lobby successfully to stop the introduction of a voucher system by then Federal Education Minister Dr. David Kemp despite later claiming victory in a similar campaign.
The union suffered another major setback in 2003 when despite intense lobbying of independent senators, the reform package of

(CPI), removing some of the strain on the union’s finances but raising fears that many small and regional campus organisations might disaffiliate due to increases in affiliation fees.
Despite NUS having spent $255,307 to run an anti-government campaign in marginal electorates, in the 2004 Australian elections the government returned to office with what looked to be effective control of the Senate.
