The National Union of Students (NUS) is the peak representative body for Australian higher education students.[1][2] A student union is eligible for membership by its classification as a legitimate student representative body at any Australian post-secondary training provider.[3][4] The NUS typically organises NUS National Conference (NatCon), NUS Education Conference (EdCon), and the Presidents' Summit each year in addition to other smaller conferences.[1]
