Since its creation in 1985, the Overseas Students Association (OSA) of the University of Adelaide has been the focal point of international students at the University. The OSA provides a wide range of services that include cultural events, support and information for both current and future international students from overseas. The OSA is a not-for-profit, non-partisan and apolitical service organisation. There are currently in excess of 6000 international students at the University of Adelaide. The population has grown steadily from around 500 in 1990. As international students are a recognised area of growth in the higher education sector, this trend will continue into the future. All the international students are automatically members of the OSA.
