International Students
What is this service?
The International Student Legal Service NSW gives free, confidential legal advice to international students living in New South Wales.
Redfern Legal Centre's International Student Legal Service is independent of government. Funding is provided by Study NSW, a unit of the NSW Government set up to support international students across the state. Funding is also provided by the Fair Work Ombudsman, and in-kind support is provided by City of Sydney.
International students in NSW can get advice about housing problems, fines, debts, car accidents, employment, discrimination, family law, domestic violence, and complaints about colleges or universities. We can also advise how these problems affect student visas.
