Delivering excellence in NSW's education ecosystem

Study NSW maintains an active portfolio of international education policy engagements. This includes addressing issues related to international student welfare, developing the state’s international education ecosystem and advocating for the sector. We also represent the sector across NSW Government, Australian Government and civil society committees.  

NSW International Education Advisory Board 

Established in 2014, the NSW International Education Advisory Board (IEAB) and its subcommittees provide forums for meaningful industry engagement and expert advice on Study NSW’s strategic direction.  

The IEAB’s composition reflects the sector’s diversity and includes members from universities, private colleges, TAFE NSW, local governments, and edtech. Study NSW leverages this diversity to exchange market intelligence on emerging issues, and to amplify Study NSW initiatives.  

Members are appointed by the Minister with portfolio responsibility for Study NSW.
